And get your flu shot. Outside of diet and exercise, which cannot be emphasized enough, it is the #1 thing you can do to prevent your risk of a heart attack. People who get the flu, are 6x more likely to experience a heart attack in the same year. Underlying infections and illnesses often trigger heart attacks due to the additional stress they place on the body. https://www.medstarhealth.org/blog/flu-shot-heart-attack

COVID shots protect you in the same way. If you have had the MRNA shots and had terrible side effects, look into Novavax. I was out 24 hrs w fever, two days of feeling yucky, from the MRNA shots, not even a sore arm with novavax. Studies show side effects are lower while maintaining the same effectiveness as the mrna shots. It's a failure of public health communication that most people do not know novavax exists. Rite-aids and Costcos tend to carry it (in the US), you do not need to be a costco member to use their pharmacy.
