4 Ways to Start Focusing on Heart Health
Did you know that February is American Heart Month? Here are some ways you can focus on your heart health.
1. Healthy Eating Habits! Even small changes can make a difference. Grab a family member and head to the grocery store! Look for foods low in sodium, added sugar and trans fats. Don't forget to stock up on fruits and veggies!
2. Physical Activity! Our bodies work best with at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily. Bundle up and join your family members on a walk, sign up for an exercise class or even challenge a friend of family member to a friendly fitness competition!
3. Focus on health care. It is important to get your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked regularly be a healthcare provider. If you are already taking medication to control these risk factors, make sure you are taking your medications daily!
4. Start a conversation. Talking to friends and family members about heart disease can be uncomfortable, but it could be lifesaving! Having a conversation about improving heart health is so important.
