There are 100,000 reasons to show your heart some love…
That’s about how many times it beats every single day!
Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women. In the U.S., one person dies every 34 seconds as a result of it.
Here are 5 things to start doing NOW to protect your heart:
- Exercise most days of the week.
- Eat a healthy, whole-foods-based diet that’s low in sugar and sodium, and rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Limit alcohol. Just 2-3 drinks in one sitting can raise your blood pressure.
- Stand up more. Research shows that sitting for extended periods isn’t good for your heart, even if you work out.
- Weird & Random: Go easy on the black licorice. It contains glycyrrhizic acid, which can raise your blood pressure even if it’s usually normal.
REMEMBER: It’s the little things you do every day that add up to big fitness/health results!
