BlueCross BlueShield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) is promoting cardiovascular health and wellness.

According to KRQE, making good health decisions can reduce your chance of heart disease. 

“Some of the things you can control are diabetes, high blood pressure, being overweight, smoking, and managing your stress better,” Dr. Muskaan Behl from BCBSNM said to KRQE.

Some factors can not be controlled, such as genetics, but you can look back in your family tree to see if you're more at risk, KRQE said.

The station also reported that other factors you can control include having high blood pressure, eating habits, smoking, and exercise.

BCBSNM has approximately 1,800 employees in the state. The medical insurance organization's mission is to help members throughout the community to be healthy, according to their website.

"Our purpose is to stand with our members — and all citizens of New Mexico — in sickness and in health," BCBSNM officials said. "We are proud to work with community partners who share our mission to lead the people of New Mexico toward better health and productive lives, which is why we invest our time and resources to address the most pressing health and social challenges facing our state."
