WE’RE
surrounded by hearts
this month. Along with the paper
and chocolate versions, there are the
human ones: the beating hearts of
more than 300 million Americans.
Unfortunately, we’re also surrounded
by heart disease. In the U.S., it’s the
leading cause of death for both men
and women. But it can be prevented
and controlled. You can do a lot to
take better care of your heart.
Scrutinize labels.
Unhealthy fats
and cholesterol can clog arteries. Salt
can raise blood pressure. Sugar can
pack on pounds. To avoid these risks
for heart disease, read nutrition
labels when you’re grocery shopping.
Look for foods with unsaturated fats,
omega-3 fatty acids, and low
percentages of sodium and sugar.
Also, choose plenty of foods that
come without nutrition labels: fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Get moving.
Like all muscles, your
heart needs exercise. Aim for at least
150 minutes of moderate-intensity
aerobic activity per week, such as
brisk walking. Share your heart-
healthy habit with a loved one—
invite him or her on a walk with you.
Know your numbers.
If you don’t
know your blood pressure and
cholesterol numbers, make an
appointment with your doctor to
have them checked. Having high
blood pressure or too much LDL
cholesterol (the bad kind) in your blood
can put you at risk for heart disease.
Being overweight also makes heart
disease more likely. You probably know
if you’re carrying too many pounds.
But if you aren’t sure, it’s another
thing to discuss with your doctor.
Vow to quit.
Smoking harms the
heart as well as the lungs. So if you
light up, it’s important to ditch the
habit for good. See page 5 to learn
about FCMH’s smoking cessation
program.
