February is heart health month. Lifestyle plays a vital role in the health of your heart. The way you do or do not move, what you eat, your stress levels and your weight all contribute to a heart healthy lifestyle.
If you aren’t already exercising regularly it is time to get moving. Start small with things like taking the dog for a walk, taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and parking further out in the parking lot.
When it comes to die,t fat often gets a bad name, but you need healthy fat in your diet! Fish oil, avocados, walnuts, and almonds are all good sources of good fat that are essential in your diet. Eating plenty of colorful vegetables is also important, make sure to steam these rather than microwaving them. Microwaving food destroys the nutrients in it!
Reducing stress can be accomplished in many ways. Take time for yourself. Meditate, pray, take a relaxing bubble bath, and Laugh! Pick up a hobby you have always wanted to try, and of course GET SOME SLEEP!
