Healthy Habits

🫀February is american heart health Month🫀

This month, we spread awareness about Heart Health across America! Heart health is extremely important because in some way it affects every single one of us. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. These diseases can affect people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. And this is why we take the month of February to spread awareness about the importance of heart health!

Cardiovascular and heart disease is any condition that affects the muscle of the heart and the vascular system (veins and arteries). Some people, due to their genetics, are more likely than others to develop these conditions. But despite being predisposed to certain conditions, there are action steps that can be taken to decrease risk and improve quality of life!

Tips to help decrease risk of heart disease: 

1. Stop or do not start smoking and using tobacco products
2. Maintain blood pressure within normal ranges
3. Manage cholesterol levels
4. Maintain healthy weight
5. Regularly exercising
6. Maintain blood sugar levels to prevent or manage Diabetes
7. Limit stress and learn how to decrease stress
8. Get proper amounts of sleep (7-9 hours for most adults)
9. Limit alcohol consumption
   
   

As always it is important to speak with your healthcare providers about your own risk of heart disease. Make sure to have regular blood work completed and attend all regular check-ups.

But we want to empower y’all to start to act now to improve your quality of life! We challenge every one of you to walk for 30 minutes every day for the month of February! The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly, so this goal exceeds that recommendation. But we know how awesome and dedicated our members are, so it will be a piece of cake! We can’t wait to see y’all out on the walking trails, feel free to share photos of your walk on social media and make sure to tag us!
