Heart Health

The American Heart Association has designated February as a month that focuses on cardiovascular health and raising awareness about heart disease. It is a great time to learn more about your heart health and how to take care of it.

Here are a few tips:

• Stay on the move! Sitting down all day and not moving can lead to heart disease.  Instead strive to be active a minimum of 30 minutes per day, 4-5 times a week. Walking is a good choice, but be sure to do an exercise you enjoy.

• Eat smart: Healthy choices and diets are key to a healthy heart.  Consider incorporating berries, avocadoes, whole grains and  dark chocolate into your day.  Also, eat plenty of greens. All our dining room meals are preplanned with a State  Licensed Dietitian for nutrient balance.

• Minimize Fast Foods and Sugary Drinks: fast foods are often high in sodium. These foods can clog your arteries, raise blood pressure and cause other health problems.

• Get enough sleep: Sleep helps restore the body, reduces stress and increases productivity. Set a goal of at least 7 hours of  sleep. Often a consistent exercise program can help you relax and sleep well.
