❤️ Heart Health Matters: Supporting Wellness in the Black Community & Beyond ❤️
February is both Black History Month and Heart Health Month—a perfect time to focus on wellness. While heart health is important for everyone, conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease disproportionately impact the Black community. Prioritizing heart health through simple, everyday habits can make a big difference.
Here are a few key ways to support your heart naturally:
💚 Eat More Potassium-Rich Foods – Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and supports cardiovascular health. Include foods like bananas, avocados, spinach, sweet potatoes, and beans in your meals.
🏃🏾♀️ Move Your Body Regularly – Just 30 minutes of activity, like walking or dancing, five times a week can strengthen your heart. New to exercise? Start with 5 minutes a day and build up from there!
🧘🏿 Manage Stress Daily – Deep breathing, mindfulness, or quiet moments for just 10 minutes a day can reduce heart strain and support overall well-being.
As a naturopathic doctor, I take a holistic approach to heart health by identifying individual risk factors and using functional testing to uncover underlying imbalances. Through nutrition, herbal medicine, targeted supplements, and lifestyle strategies, I help my patients naturally support cardiovascular wellness and long-term vitality.
