Being Heart Healthy
There are no age limits on being heart healthy. Good habits that start when you're young can have significant long term effects. Whether you are 15 or 50, here are 5 things to do every day to keep your heart healthy:
- Eat healthy fats, NOT trans fats.
- Practice good dental hygiene, especially flossing your teeth daily.
- Get enough sleep.
- Don't sit for too long at one time.
- Avoid secondhand smoke like the plague.
Those are just a few tips from health.gov to keep your heart healthy.
What else can you do? The American Heart Association wants to help you create healthy habits that work best for YOUR life, for the best chance at life.
- Stress Management
- Music is a universal language that connects, soothes, and inspires. Let's use it to get healthier! Curate and share a playlist that helps us reclaim our rhythm. Be it a soundtrack for rallying or resting, cardio or mediation, we'll look forward to finding your personal medley for well-being on social media
- Get Moving
- One of the keys to better health and mental well-being is getting back into the rhythm of an active lifestyle. Staying active may lower blood pressure, control weight gain, pump more oxygen into your heart and reduce stress—a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. Move today.
- Healthy Eating starts at Home
- Create a family rhythm by eating meals together for a chance to connect and decompress. Regular meals at home with family reduce stress, boost self-esteem and make the whole family feel connected.
Essentially, mellow out and reduce stress; get Up and move to the groove; and feed Your soul, rock your recipes!
