Staying heart-healthy is a lifestyle, supported by healthy habits and the encouragement of loved ones. These habits can help prevent heart disease, maintain normal blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
THIS AMERICAN HEART MONTH, SHARE THESE TIPS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY:
Eat Healthy: Focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, limit processed foods, and avoid foods high in saturated and trans fats. Choose foods high in fiber to help lower cholesterol and limit salt to lower blood pressure. Also, reduce sugar intake to manage blood sugar levels, and limit or avoid alcohol.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Carrying excess weight adds stress on the heart and increases the risk of heart disease.
Stay Active: Aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate exercise per week (e.g., brisk walking or biking).
Children should get 1 hour of activity daily.
Get Enough Sleep: Regular, quality sleep (7-8 hours) supports heart and blood vessel health. Lack of sleep is linked to higher risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Consult your physician or dietitian before making any changes to your daily routine, exercise, or diet to know what is right for you.

It’s American Heart Month! Know the ABCS of Heart Health. Every year, Americans suffer more than 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes. The good news is that you can help reduce your risk and improve your heart health by following the ABCS:
A: Ask your health care professional if aspirin can reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Be sure to tell your health care professional if you have a family history of heart disease or stroke.
B: Control your blood pressure. Blood pressure measures the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. High blood pressure increases your risk for heart attack or stroke more than any other risk factor. Find out what your blood pressure numbers are and work with your health care professional to lower it.
C: Manage your cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods. Your body needs cholesterol, but when you have too much, it can build up in your arteries and cause heart disease. There are different types of cholesterol: One type is “good” and can protect you from heart disease but another type is “bad” and can increase your risk. Talk to your health care professional about cholesterol and how to lower your bad cholesterol if it’s too high.
S: Don’t smoke. Smoking raises your blood pressure, which increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. If you smoke, quit. Talk with your health care professional about ways to help you stick with your decision. It’s never too late to quit.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
Super Bowl Sunday isn’t always about the final score… it’s about being present. It’s an opportunity to gather around a shared table, enjoy a good meal, laugh at the commercials, and soak in the energy of the moment together. Whether you’re watching every play, just the commercials or just enjoying the half time show, these simple moments of connection remind us that taking time to be together, relax, and have fun is an important part of caring for ourselves and one another because well-being is built in the moments we share.

Happy Black History Month! Black History Month is a time to recognize the strength, perseverance, and excellence of Black leaders past and present. It’s also an opportunity to reaffirm our shared commitment to respect, inclusion, and unity. In healthcare, compassion and understanding are at the heart of everything we do — and those values grow stronger when we support one another and celebrate our differences. Together, by choosing kindness and uplifting one another, we continue building a future rooted in dignity, equality, and hope.
