“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Hearts get a lot of attention in February thanks to a little holiday called Valentine’s Day, but there’s one heart you should show some love every day: your own! We’re celebrating American Heart Month, an entire month dedicated to educating people on how to prevent heart disease.
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, with one in four people dying from it every year. In fact, heart disease kills more people than all forms of cancer combined yet 72% of Americans don’t consider themselves at risk, says the American Heart Association.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Make these simple lifestyle changes now so you can follow your heart for years to come.
Cut down on the S’s aka sodium, sugar and saturated fat.
30 minutes a day keeps the heart risk away.
There’s no time like the present.
Chilling out helps lower your blood pressure.
