Top 5 Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy

March 6, 2023

 Ready to start your heart health journey? Here are the top 5 ways to keep your heart healthy:

  1. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables

Instead of eating processed snack foods, snack on vegetables such as carrots, snow peas, or cherry tomatoes along with a spicy hummus dip or peanut butter.

  1. Quit Smoking, Vaping, and Tobacco Use

Lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and improve your health.

  1. Manage stress

In the United States, one in two adults reported COVID-19 has negatively impacted mental health. Reduce stress for a healthier version of you.

  1. Sleep

Your sleeping habits can have an effect on your health. It is recommended to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night to wake up feeling energized and prepared for the day ahead.

  1. Mental Health and Well-Being

Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It affects how we think, feel, and act. For your next mental health activity, try practicing gratitude, meditating, and going outdoors with family and friends.

Taking these positive steps can not only help a healthy routine, but can contribute to your mental health and well-being.
