When combined with stroke, cardiovascular disease accounts for more than 1 in 4 deaths nationwide, claiming more lives each year than cancer and accidents combined.

What Drugs Increase the Risk of Falls? 🚶‍♂️⚠️

Falls are a serious—and growing—health risk for older adults, and many commonly prescribed (and even over-the-counter) medications can make that risk higher. Drugs that cause dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, or low blood pressure can affect balance and reaction time.

Medications most often linked to falls include:
• Sleeping pills and sedatives
• Anti-anxiety medications (like benzodiazepines)
• Antidepressants
• Blood pressure medications
• Opioid pain relievers
• Muscle relaxers
• Certain allergy, bladder, and Parkinson’s medications

The risk is even greater when medications are new, taken long-term, or combined with alcohol.

👉 The good news: falls are often preventable. Regularly reviewing your medication list with your doctor or pharmacist can help identify safer alternatives, dose adjustments, or unnecessary medications.

What Is a Normal Walking Heart Rate? 🚶‍♀️❤️

Your heart rate naturally rises when you walk faster and eases when you slow down—but knowing what’s normal can help you exercise smarter.

A helpful rule of thumb: during moderate-intensity walking, your heart rate should be about 50–70% of your maximum heart rate, which is based on age. Using a heart-rate monitor or smartwatch while you walk can give you real-time feedback so you know when to push a little more—or when it’s time to ease up.

If your heart rate feels unusually fast, slow, or out of sync with how you feel, don’t ignore it. A quick check-in with your doctor can provide peace of mind and help keep your heart on the right track.

❤️ Heart Attack vs. Heart Failure: Know the Difference

While they’re often confused, heart attacks and heart failure are not the same—and knowing the signs can save a life.

🚨 Heart Attack
A sudden emergency caused by blocked blood flow to the heart.
Symptoms may include:
• Chest pain or pressure
• Pain radiating to the arm, jaw, neck, or back
• Shortness of breath
• Symptoms may look different in women

⚠️❤️ Heart Failure
A chronic condition where the heart can’t pump blood effectively.
Common symptoms include:
• Shortness of breath with activity
• Fatigue
• Swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen
• Unexplained weight gain

📞 Call 911 immediately for chest pain, upper-body discomfort lasting more than a few minutes, or sudden shortness of breath.

📅 Have questions or concerns about your heart health? Don’t ignore the signs.

🧂Salt & Your Heart: How Much Is Too Much?

Most research shows that too much salt can raise blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease. While sodium affects everyone differently, people with high blood pressure or kidney disease should be especially cautious — even some “low-sodium” salt substitutes can be harmful.

The heart-smart approach?
🥗 Focus on fresh, home-cooked meals
🌿 Flavor foods with herbs, spices, lemon, or vinegar instead of salt
📉 Be mindful of hidden sodium in packaged foods

Small changes at the table can make a big difference for your heart.
