Feb 2008 | "Get Heart Smart"

 
February is National Heart Month, and since heart disease is the #1 cause of death for women, we'd like to remind you how to be heart smart. To make sure that your heart is in tip-top shape, consult with your physician during your next visit about how to keep it healthy.

He/she can help you with answers to these questions:
  • Am I at increased risk for heart disease or diabetes?
  • Am I at a healthy weight?
  • What is my blood pressure level? Is it healthy?
  • What is my HDL and LDL cholesterol? What do they mean?
  • Am I eating the right things?
  • Is my type/amount of physical activity right for me?
  • Can you help me with how to quit smoking?
