Heart Health Month

February is Heart Health Awareness Month

In February, along with beautiful Valentine’s Day celebrations, organizations send out information about heart disease.  According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), “Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States” and at the NIH’s website shown below you can find ways to take care of your heart as well as your cardiovascular system.  We have included here two of the infographics from NIH as a starter to all the information available on the website: 1) Learn what a heart attack feels like (understand that symptoms for heart attacks are not all the same) and to act fast and 2) Take action for your heart: get started.  This second infographic suggests ways to reduce the risk of heart disease. Here’s wishing you much success in your heart health journey.
