STRESS AND HEART HEALTH
Today is the observance of the importance of healthy living for heart health. We are STRONG, RESILIENT and EMPOWERED. However, we are also Human. So, on today, let us pledge to be more consistent in our investment of self-care and self-love. In whatever way, make a mental note and plan a self-care day. Yes, it’s easier said than done; RECOGNITION and EXECUTION is the key. Take some time for yourself daily to reduce stress and the risk of developing or exacerbating a chronic disease.

Prayer and Meditation
Exercise
Crafts
Deep Breathing
Music
Self-care appointments for body maintenance

These examples along with a healthy diet are ways to hopefully improve our quality of life.

HYDRATION AND HEART HEALTH
Realistically our bodies can survive longer without food than water. Feeling thirsty is a sign of dehydration. “If we wait until we feel thirsty, we are already too late.”

Dehydration means our body does not have enough water to perform normal functions. Regarding the heart, dehydration causes a strain on the heart. The amount of blood circulating through the body, or blood volume, decreases when the body becomes dehydrated. This can be the cause of low blood pressure and heart palpitations. Palpitations are the feeling of a pounding, fast-beating or fluttering heart. Develop a practice of sipping on water throughout the day and drinking it with meals. Also, limit caffeinated beverages.

Many factors influence individual fluid needs. Therefore, please consult with your PCP for guidance based upon your individual health status.

Tips for Heart Healthy Eating:
• Monitor or track your daily dietary intake. Select from the many dietary tracker apps to help improve understanding of portion control, total calorie, carbohydrate, protein and fat intake and where change may be needed.

• Limit sodium intake by avoiding canned foods, processed foods and salt based seasoning and seasoning blends. REMEMBER SALT IN ANY FORM IS STILL SALT!!!

• Consume more nutrient rich foods. Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin A and C, Potassium, Iron and Calcium.

• Choose more fiber rich foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables with edible skins, beans, peas, healthy nuts such as almond, walnuts, pistachios and peanuts. Look for dry roasted unsalted forms. Complex carbohydrates such as steel cut oats, quinoa and brown rice.

• Choose low-fat or fat- free dairy products – Skim, 1% or 2% milk, yogurt and cheese.

• Consume healthier varieties of fish loaded with heart healthy omega- 3 fatty acids such as Atlantic Mackerel, Wild-Caught Alaskan Salmon (including canned), and Rainbow Trout.

• Consume small portions of healthier fats- monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
- Rule of thumb: Healthy fats are liquid at room temperature (olive oil). Unhealthy fats are solid at room temperature (butter and lard).

• Avoid sugary beverages. Choose water more often. Water infused with fresh fruits or vegetables is very refreshing. Ex: Cucumber or Lemon water.

In effort to spread awareness of the importance of

In effort to spread awareness of the importance of heart health, we will provide five days of heart healthy tips. Please watch the video for Day One -Healthy Heart Tips.

*Please consult with your PCP before starting any exercise regimen.

Self-care is so important. We must take care of ourselves so we can care for others. "Do something today that your future self will thank you for!" #akapinkgoesred
