Here's what i do to protect my heart is first i take supplement that will help my heart function well (Omega 3 Fish Oil Ultimate), next i eat foods with less cholesterol and less fat contents. I also exercise daily. I make sure that i will live a lifestyle that is non stressful and a healthy one.

As someone that has recently been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (extensive calcification in all four coronary arteries which will require a bypass in the future) AND carotid artery disease (up to 70% blockages which will require either stenting or endartectomy (surgical removal of the buildup) in the very near future, AND a brain aneurysm all at the same time I can tell you that DIET, EXERCISE, and GREAT FAMILY history all contribute to a healthy heart. I have rotten family history and so my problems, but I also didn't eat well, exercised only sporatically, smoked like crazy for a number of years and I'm now paying the consequences.
You are right to begin eating healthily but don't forget to exercise and quit other un-healthy habits.
