Heart
This week’s Word of the Week is an anecdote about Heart Health. February is American Heart Health Month. Cadiovascular diseases including strokes are the number one killer amongst Americans.
There are some simple steps one can take to substantially reduce one’s risk of getting a heart attack or stroke. Here are the top three examples in my personal view: -
- Regular Exercise
- Eating a low fat and low sodium diet with loads of fresh vegetables and fruit.
- Relaxation – Trying to reduce stress levels at work and at home by practising good relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.
Check out the American Heart Association’s Life Check to see how you can make small changes that will have a huge impact on your health and quality of life.
