Lower her sodium intake.
High sodium intake raises blood pressure, which increases heart disease risk. Reducing salt (especially from processed foods) helps lower that risk. Other helpful steps: eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, limit saturated/trans fats and added sugars, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, maintain a healthy weight, and control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
