February is Heart Month
Be happy and healthy the entire month long by focusing on your heart health. Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women in North America. Some tips to improve heart health include:
1. Limit the amount of salt and fat in your diet
2. Eat more whole live natural foods, the less processed the better
3. Supplement with Omega 3 fatty acids including: fish oil, flaxseed, hempseed
4. Eat 1 raw clove of garlic and cholesterol lowering foods like oatmeal and almonds
5. Know your genetics and have your cholesterol and blood prossure checked regularly
To keep your heart healthy, aim to exercise for at least ½ hour 5 days per week. Practice de-stressing activities and get enough restful sleep. Be kind to yourself and others, and learn to love yourself and others one day at a time.
