Show Your Heart Some Love

Did you know that heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the U.S. - even more than all forms of cancer combined? It’s a sobering fact, but the good news is that 80% of cardiovascular disease can be prevented with the right habits and lifestyle choices.

As we enter Heart Health Month, it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at how we are nurturing our hearts.

Taking care of your heart doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Here are some simple but effective steps you can take to show your heart some love:

✔️ Nourish your body with  heart-healthy foods – More fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich foods such as colorful fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, fatty fish, avocados, and leafy greens.

✔️ Move your body daily – Walking, dancing, strength training—it all counts!

✔️ Manage stress – Meditation, journaling, and deep breathing can do wonders.

✔️ Know your numbers – Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers are important and your doctor can help you know your target ranges for these numbers. ✔️ Stay hydrated – Your heart loves water, so drink up!

✔️ Get quality sleep – Your heart needs rest to function at its best.  Less than 6 hours of sleep per night puts you at elevated risk.
