Best wishes to you both from family and friends. 12/13/14 – a date you shouldn’t forget! ; ) February is Heart Awareness Month! Show yourself some love this month and learn about your risks for heart disease and stroke. Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and it is the one of the leading causes of disability that prevents Americans from normal daily activities. Many of CVD related deaths could have been prevented through healthier habits and better management of health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. You can control many of the risk factors attributed to CVD by: consuming a diet low in sodium and fats and high in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Exercising regularly: it is recommended to do 150 minutes of exercise per week, this can be in the form of walking, doing yard work, cleaning the house, fitness videos, etc. Quitting cigarettes: smoking cigarettes greatly increases your risk of CVD Limiting alcohol: the CDC recommends men have no more than two drinks per day and women have no more than one drink per day; too much alcohol can increase your blood pressure. Getting a regular check up with your health care team once each year, even if you feel healthy: doing so will help detect health conditions that could otherwise go unnoticed.
