FEBRUARY HEART HEALTHY FACTS - Lisa Hunt
Fruits and vegetables are filled with the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Challenge yourself to try a new fruit or vegetable every week and make sure to mix up the colors. See how many different colors of fruits and vegetables you can eat each week. Have a heart healthy day!
People who are physically fit have hearts that can pump about three times more blood than someone who isn’t in shape! This is because regular physical activity increases the size and power of the heart muscle. Additionally, people who are physically fit usually have a slower resting pulse rate because their hearts are more efficient per pump.
Did you know that cigarette smoking almost doubles a person’s risk for a stroke. Knowledge is power, tell someone about this heart fact of the day.
Aim for at least 20-30 minutes of physical activity each day. Try a new activity like dancing, martial arts, or swimming – anything that will get you excited about staying active. Have a laughter-filled, heart healthy day!
Physical exercise increases your heart rate and the flow of oxygen-rich blood to muscles. Activities such as brisk walking can build endurance and burn calories if done regularly.
