Have a Heart Healthy Valentine
February is American Heart Month, a reminder to everyone that many factors leading to cardiovascular disease (the No. 1 killer in our country) are controllable!
The sweetest thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones this Valentine's Day is to practice and promote these four heart healthy habits:
- Exercise for at least 20 minutes, three times a week.
- Develop and maintain good eating habits.
- Avoid tobacco, drugs, and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Take advantage of preventive health screenings to detect problems early.
