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.<\/p>\n

Heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States,<\/strong> 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Stop smoking<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Get active<\/p>\n

3. Shed excess weight<\/p>\n

4. Eat healthier<\/p>\n

5. Manage blood pressure<\/p>\n

6. Control cholesterol<\/p>\n

7. Reduce blood sugar<\/p>\n

On that note, CareCloud would like to give a shout-out to the many cardiologists we work with<\/a><\/strong> via our products. We appreciate your efforts and expertise. We all have our work cut out for us, so know we’re always willing to lend a helping hand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
