That soreness, cramping, or tingling you feel after walking? It might be Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD); a condition that often goes undiagnosed until it becomes serious.

Waiting until you feel 'old' to check cholesterol? You're already behind!

Regular cholesterol checks shouldn’t begin when you start feeling 'old,' they should start in your 20s.

❣️ Measuring risk factors early allows healthcare providers to estimate your lifetime risk of heart disease and take action before problems develop.

Here’s what you should know:
🔹Adults over age 20 should have their cholesterol checked every 4–6 years.
🔹Even moderately high LDL (bad cholesterol) levels between 160–189 mg/dL in young adults can increase long-term risk, and may warrant medication or early intervention.
🔹Prevention is powerful: a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise go a long way.

🧒Cholesterol doesn’t care how old you are, so don’t wait.

Young, health, and still at risk?
Your cardiovascular health starts taking shape long before you feel any symptoms. In fact, plaque buildup in the arteries can begin as early as childhood or adolescence, laying the groundwork for heart problems later in life.

🧠 Here's the reality:
🔹Nearly 1 in 2 U.S. adults aged 20 and older already has some form of cardiovascular disease.
🔹Rising rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure are driving heart disease in younger and middle-aged adults.
🔹How you live now, like what you eat, how active you are, and how you manage stress shapes your heart’s future.

Heart health isn’t just a concern for your grandparents. It’s a lifelong investment.

Let’s Clear This Up: Heart Failure vs. Cardiac Arrest

🫀Heart failure doesn’t mean your heart stops, it means your heart isn’t pumping blood as effectively as it should.
Symptoms can include:
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in the feet or ankles
• Persistent coughing or wheezing

💥Cardiac arrest, on the other hand, is when the heart suddenly stops beating. It causes unconsciousness and the person stops breathing normally, which is a medical emergency.

Understanding the difference can save lives.

When your cardiovascular system struggles to keep up with extreme heat, it sends warning signals that you should never ignore...

⚠️ Be on the lookout for:
• Cold, clammy skin
• Confusion or disorientation
• Dizziness or a rapid pulse
• Excessive sweating OR no sweating at all
• Fatigue, nausea, or headache
• Muscle cramps or spasms
• Swelling in your arms or legs

🔥These are signs your body is under serious stress. If you or someone near you shows multiple symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Stay alert. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

When it’s hot, your body works overtime to cool down by circulating nearly twice as much blood per minute compared to a normal day. This means your heart beats faster and works harder.

🔺Risk increases when:
• Temps are over 70°F
• Humidity is above 70%

👥Who’s most at risk?
• Adults over 50
• Individuals with heart, lung, or kidney conditions
• Those who are overweight

💧Stay safe: Hydrate, avoid peak heat hours, and check in with your doctor if you’re managing a chronic condition.
