Let’s talk about the most important muscle in your body… your heart!
Chances are you don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your heart, but it works SO HARD for you 24/7, 365 days a year.
So because it's heart health month, let's check out these eye-opening heart stats:
● It beats about 2.5 billion times (!!!) during your lifetime
● All of those beats push millions of gallons of blood to every part of your body
● That blood carries oxygen, hormones, fuel, cells, and important compounds your body needs to function
● PLUS, blood whisks away waste products as it travels through your body
When your heart stops, many of your body’s essential functions fail almost instantly. And that is NOT a good situation — especially since heart disease is the No. 1 killer globally, and 47% of Americans have at least one of the three major risk factors.
February is American Heart Month — and it’s time to give yours some TLC.
Which is why I have a little challenge for you this month:
Every day in February, take at least ONE action EVERY DAY to keep your heart healthy.
● Eat a healthy, whole-foods-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats like nuts, seeds, and olive oil
● Get at least 30 minutes of exercise
● Make time for sleep
● Build a healthy lifestyle — don’t smoke and do keep your weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels in check
Not only would you be taking a major step to improve your health — you’d feel better and have more energy!
