February is American Heart Month, a time to focus on heart health and the small, everyday choices that can make a big difference. Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States, but many risk factors are preventable.
Simple Tips to Protect Your Heart
Caring for your heart doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with these heart-healthy habits:
- Stay active: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week (ex. walking).
- Eat smart: Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and limit saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars.
- Know your numbers: Regularly check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
- Quit smoking: If you smoke, quitting is one of the most powerful steps you can take for your heart.
- Manage stress: Prioritize sleep, relaxation, and healthy coping strategies to support overall heart health.
