Valentine’s Day (or weekend, depending on how you get down) is officially behind us, so it’s time to learn how to care for your own heart before you look too closely at your bank statement.
February just happens to be American Heart Month, an initiative pushed by the American Heart Association to increase awareness of heart disease and educate the population on maintaining a healthy heart.
Heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States, claiming over 600,000 deaths a year. And since many precipitating factors are byproducts of lifestyle choices, the AHA this year is promoting its Life’s Simple Seven – seven tips to keeping your heart in good shape.
1. Stop smoking
2. Get active
3. Shed excess weight
4. Eat healthier
5. Manage blood pressure
6. Control cholesterol
7. Reduce blood sugar
