Be Good to Your Heart
Celebrate Heart Health MonthAmerican Heart Month is our nation’s annual reminder to take care of the most important and perhaps most neglected organ in the human body. But of course at Shaklee, we believe that a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle should be a year-round, life-long effort, this month, next month and always. And it's not too late to start taking better care of your heart, or helping someone else do the same.
Although we can’t change some risk factors, such as age and heredity,
many factors—including cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity, and
inactivity—can be modified, thus significantly lowering the risk of
heart disease. And because lifestyle habits (e.g. diet, exercise, and
appropriate supplementation) can strongly influence these modifiable
risk factors, here are 10 lifestyle strategies you can implement to
promote a healthy heart.
Ten Lifestyle Strategies for Promoting a Healthy Heart:
1. Make more healthful food choices.
2 . Lose the belly fat and keep it off.
3. Get more of the “sunshine” vitamin.
4 . Go fishing with omega-3 fatty acids.
5. Protect your body against free radicals and oxidative stress.
6. Boost your phytonutrient intake.
7. Fill up on fiber.
8. Find a friend in Coenzyme Q10.
10. Take time to De-stress.
