Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, but understanding your risk factors can make a powerful difference. ❤️

In this video, Dr. Kyra Piñango discusses three important things women should pay attention to when it comes to cardiovascular health: cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure.

Q. What can women do now to support their long-term bone, heart, and overall health?

A. “Women can take meaningful steps now to support their long-term bone, heart, and overall health. A balanced, nutrient-rich diet creates a strong foundation for healthy aging, while adequate vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and enough protein all play important roles in maintaining bone strength, muscle mass, heart health, and overall wellness over time.” ~Dr. Megan Hatch, Family Medicine with Obstetrics
