Until we hear a tragic news story or about a loved one or close friend having a heart attack, we typically relegate thinking about our cardiovascular health to the mind’s back burner.
Cancer gets a lot of press- particularly because it’s a scary, potentially-lethal disease but heart disease has a 20% greater mortality rate!
Since February has been dubbed National Heart Month, we are pairing with Bankers Healthcare Group’s Take Charge initiative and encouraging you to take a look at your ticker.
Take a minute to ask yourself some questions regarding heart health.
How many hours of my day are spent in a sedentary manner?
When was the last time I engaged in physical activity?
When I grab a hot beverage in the morning, am I ordering a high-fat & sugar latte or a simple tea or coffee?
Do I make healthy eating a priority in my life?
Am I finding myself short of breath often?
Take a look at this infographic to learn more about making more heart-healthy choices. Knowing this information could save your life or that of your loved ones.
