"My doctors diagnosed me with high blood pressure; he recommended exercising for at least 30 minutes a day and a well balanced diet. I can’t eat everything I want but I know exercising and diet are important for me to stay healthy."

We talk and think about our hearts every day. We say we’re young “at heart.” We know our favorite songs “by heart.” We talk about heavy hearts and broken hearts or how absence makes the heart grow fonder. We know our hearts are important – every heartbeat keeps us alive. 

Unfortunately, we don’t always take care of our hearts they way we should. 

Many of us ignore heart health, placing ourselves at a greater risk for heart disease and other illnesses. We think we’re too young to worry about getting heart disease. Or we think we’ve reached a point of no return – the damage has been done, and it’s too late to prevent it.

But it’s never too early – or too late – to start thinking about the health of your heart. No matter what your situation, you can start improving your heart health today by making simple changes in your lifestyle. And you can help the people you care about do the same. 

Choose to have a healthier heart today.
