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.
