Take Care of Your Heart

Hi, I’m Joan. I write about building healthier life and relationships.

All this talk about compassion and heart! Now it’s time for a quick word about your physical heart.

February is American Heart Month! How can we reach out to the world with compassionate hearts if our tickers aren’t working well?

Here are a few tips from Healthiest Weight Florida Initiative, to achieve and maintain a healthy heart:

Maintain a healthy weight
Quit smoking
Be active at least 30–60 minutes a day
Make an appointment for an annual check up
Monitor existing health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol
Practice effective stress management
Reduce salt intake (sodium)
Eat at least five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables every day

I hope you’ll join me, keep tickin’ and spread the good thoughts!
