Health Hub - February is Heart Health Month!
February 1, 2025
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women.
Below are a few tips on different actions that you can take to prevent heart disease:
- Eat a healthy diet. Start making healthy choices that include a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and less processed foods and saturated fats.
- Be physically active. Move more – it’s one of the best ways to stay healthy, prevent disease, and age well.
- Watch your weight. Stay at a healthy weight for you.
- Check your blood pressure and cholesterol. These are two main risk factors that could lead to heart disease.
Raising awareness of the risk factors and warnings signs can save a life. That is why National Wear Red Day this year is Friday, February 7.
