Heart Health Month
February is American Heart Month! This is the perfect time to learn about your risk for heart disease and steps you can take to improve your heart health!
Why is heart health so important? Many people unfortunately aren't aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. However it is also the most preventable disease. Heart Health Month is commonly referred to as GoRed for women month as well. This movement is to bring awareness to all women that heart disease is the leading cause of death. Only 54% of women recognize that heart disease is their number one killer. That is a staggering misconception to consider, especially since heart disease can be prevented. So how can you get involved? Spread the word about strategies for preventing heart disease and living heart healthy lives. Encourage others to become active in their healthcare, and attend regular checkups! Read below to find an easy way to remember what it means to GoRed!

G: Get to know your numbers. Your "numbers" are five key metrics including, blood pressure, HDL (good cholesterol), Total Cholesterol and Body Mass Index (BMI). For reference your ideal Blood Pressure should be at or below 120/80. This is a number you can have checked at every appointment or call us to set up an appointment to have your blood pressure and numbers checked! O: Own your Lifestyle. Heart disease is one of the most preventable diseases with lifestyle changes. Stop smoking, smoking can increase your heart rate, raise blood pressure and tighten major arteries among a whole host of other issues. All this increases your chance of stroke. Exercise regularly, this doesn't have to be anything too intense. Even a 10 minute walk a few times a day can make a huge difference in your heart health. Even better, workout with a loved one and improve more than your own heart health! Eat healthy for your heart, a diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, poultry and fish is a great place to start! Healthy diet and lifestyle is the best recipe to fight heart disease.

R: Realize your risk. Unfortunately there is still a lack of awareness for the dangers of heart disease and it kills on in three women. What causes Heart Disease? Heart disease effects the blood vessels and cardiovascular system, typically causing plaque to build up in the walls of the arteries, making it hard for blood the flow through. In addition, conditions like heart failure, arrhythmia, and heart valve problems are all forms of heart disease. Understand that heart disease can happen to anyone and take the necessary steps to prevent the statistics. E: Educate your family and friends. The more your loved ones know about heart disease and the lifestyle changes that need to be made, the easier it will be to stick with them! Furthermore you end up helping your loved ones change their lifestyle as well, and spread awareness of heart disease! D: Don't be silent. Tell everyone you know about heart disease and the statistics behind it. It is the number one killer but also the most preventable. Lets be the change in this world and not let heart disease win!
