![]() “You’ve got that loving feeling” The month of February recognizes heart health and heart disease. The heart is one of the most important functions and organs in your body. It functions as a power supply to pump blood throughout your circulatory system and provides oxygen rich nutrients for metabolic waste. The heart pumps an average of 2.5 billion beats in a lifetime. When the heart stops, so does the body. If heart disease runs in your family, or genetic, cardiovascular disease is often prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.
Know Your Family History. Some cardiovascular diseases are genetic, so it is wise to make your doctor aware if a parent or sibling has experienced heart disease at an early age. Using the previous 9 points will help decrease your risk, whatever your family history indicates! A healthy lifestyle is the key to heart disease prevention, and we can help! Give us a call today to meet with your doctor about improving your heart health.
