February is American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month. This is a good time for all of us to focus on our cardiovascular health. As busy adults, we often don’t take care of ourselves, considering the time it takes to be successful in our careers, along with trying to spend as much time with our families and friends. Even as a doctor, I fully admit that I am often better at giving advice to my patients than I heed for myself. I have been guilty of this most of my professional career.
 
At the end of the day, we may not be able to change our genetics, but we can certainly temper our risks by focusing on three simple concepts : 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Learn to eat a healthier, more balanced diet, allowing for special treats in moderation, get in the habit of exercising daily, and remember that “you are what you think!” Your emotional well-being is the primer to avoid heart disease —quite literally, heart “dis-ease” is the “absence of ease.”
