February is Healthy Heart Month!!
Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women.
But you can do a lot to protect your heart and stay healthy.
Two of the major risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure and high blood
cholesterol. If either of these numbers is high, work with your doctor to get it to a healthy
range.
Blood pressure is the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Arteries
carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body.
Blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day, but it can damage your heart
and cause health problems if it stays high for a long time. Hypertension, also called high
blood pressure, is blood pressure that is higher than normal.
Talk with your provider about having your cholesterol tested and how often you need it
tested. Your cholesterol numbers will include total cholesterol, “bad” LDL cholesterol and
“good” HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride. Ask your provider what these numbers mean for
you.
Heart-healthy lifestyle changes can help manage your cholesterol levels and blood
pressure..
These foods are the foundation of a heart-healthy eating plan: Vegetables, Fruits,
Whole Grains, Low-fat Dairy, Fish, Lean Meats, Nuts/Seeds/Soy, Beans.
A heart-healthy eating plan limits sodium (salt), saturated fat, added sugars, and
alcohol.
