What can YOU do to prevent heart disease?

2/13/2012

0 Comments

 
Though heart disease is one of the major causes of death, and in fact the number one cause of death in women, there are some things you can do to prevent heart disease. We'll discuss more of these later, but our friends at the American Heart Association tell us that you can modify or control six of the main causes (or aggravators) of heart disease:

     *Cigarette and tobacco  smoke                                         *Physical Inactivity
     *High blood cholesterol                                                      *Overweight or obesity
     *High blood  pressure                                                          *Diabetes

Isn't it great to have so much power?

February is Heart Month!

As most of you know, February is Heart Month. That doesn't just mean pink candied hearts, boxes of chocolates, and a lot of lace and elmer's glue. It's also a time to bring awareness to heart health and heart disease.

Heart disease can mean something as severe as a heart attack, but it also refers to plaque buildup in the arteries, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and heart valve problems.

High blood pressure and high cholesterol can aggravate your risk of heart disease. If an immediate family member has had some form of heart disease, you are at higher risk for developing heart trouble as well.

Stay tuned throughout this month for more information on heart disease, heart-healthy prevention tips, and song!
