Healthy Tid-bits
Love Your Heart
Each of us has a ‘risk profile” for heart disease. You
can’t
reverse some risk factors, such as age or family
history,
but you can control many others.
Primary Risk Profile Points
Blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Diabetes and blood sugar levels
Health Habits (smoking, diet and exercise)
Weight
Sleep and stress
Family medical history
No one factor can predict a heart attack or stroke. To
improve your
personal risk profile, review it routinely with your
health care provider.
3 ways to keep your heart strong:
Cut dietary fat.
A low-fat, balanced food plan can
help prevent arterial disease and avoid weight gain
that forces your heart to work harder
Exercise regularly.
It’s the most positive way to keep
the heart muscle strong. It also helps manage weight
and control other risks including elevated blood
pressure and blood sugar levels.
Balance your life.
Don’t neglect your mental fitness,
which is essential to a healthy life and a strong
heart.
