February is American Heart Month and a good reminder to take an active role in keeping your heart healthy. Heart disease affects people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Each year, more than 650,000 Americans die from heart disease.
You can lower your risk of heart disease by:
• Eating a balanced, healthy diet
• Managing cholesterol and blood pressure
• Staying active
Talk to your doctor about a cholesterol test to find out if you may be at risk and what kind of adjustments you can make to protect your heart.
