National HEART Month
Did you know…the heart beats around 100,000 times in a day and pumps 1.5 gallons of blood per minute?
February is national heart month and taking care of your heart may look different than you might think. Here are a few self-care tips to maintain a healthy heart.
- A daily dose of physical activity every day (a 30-minute brisk walk).
- Cook meals at home that are low in sodium and unhealthy fats.
- Take your medications as prescribed and keep your medical appointments.
- Sleep 7-8 hours per night.
- Manage stress in healthy ways. Read a book, meditate, take a bath, or take a few minutes to find some quiet time.
When talking about different types of heart disease it can be confusing. Keep in mind that “Cardiovascular Disease” is a term that is used for all types of disease that include the heart or blood vessels. 1 in 3 deaths are from some type of cardiovascular disease.
The following are ways to protect your heart.
- Ask your doctor about your blood pressure, cholesterol, and A1C.
- Reduce the sodium and increase fruits, veggies and whole grains.
- Be physically active.
- Don’t smoke.
- Manage stress.
- Keep your diabetes under control.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
Prevention and recognizing the signs and symptoms of heart disease can make a difference in your quality of life. Learn and find more information at www.heart.org
