Give Your Heart Some Love

2/4/2016

With February being American Heart Month, there is an extra emphasis on the importance of taking care of your health—specifically your heart. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year. With this rate increasing every year, it is a deep concern that affects our families and loved ones. This prompts us to live healthier lives by changing our eating and physical habits. You are never too young or too old to start taking care of your heart!
Along with healthier eating, physical activity is sometimes the hardest task to commit to. After a long day of work, it can be hard to slink off of that couch and find the energy—which isn’t within the crevices of the couch. Here are some tips on how to physically reduce your risk of heart disease and keep your heart rate up!
  • Start a Schedule. The good news about exercise is that it is just as flexible as you are. If you are not an early riser—don’t fret, plan your physical activity for the afternoon or evening. The key is to be consistent with your exercise routine so your body can adjust to the change of pace.
  • Choose Cardio. Any physical activity that increases the work of the heart and lungs is considered cardiovascular exercise. Everyone has a different fitness level, so choose the type of activity that suits you, such as walking, jogging, or running.
  • Bring the Kiddos. Just like our own health, the health of our children is important to us as well. With the rise of technology, more children prefer staying indoors. Try breaking them away from those TV or computer screens and take them outside. If the weather permits, take them on a walk to the nearest park. Engaging our children in physical activity helps to instill good lifestyle habits.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, be sure to give your heart just as move love as you plan on giving your loved ones!
