Red February: Show Your Heart Some Love

medicals9

February is Heart Health Month, and Emerald Medical Group encourages you to "Wear Red" and show your heart some love.

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide, but many cases can be prevented or managed with lifestyle changes and regular checkups.


Tips for a Heart-Healthy Lifestyle:

  • Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit processed foods, saturated and trans fats, and excessive sodium.

  • Stay Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise most days of the week.

  • Maintain a Healthy Weight: If you're overweight or obese, even modest weight loss can significantly improve heart health.

  • Don't Smoke: Smoking significantly increases your risk of heart disease. If you smoke, quitting is the single best thing you can do for your health.

  • Manage Stress: Chronic stress can negatively impact your heart. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.

  • Limit Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol consumption can increase your risk of heart problems.


Schedule Your Checkup:

Don't forget to schedule your annual physical exam with your doctor at Emerald Medical Group. During your checkup, your doctor can:

  • Assess your risk factors for heart disease.

  • Check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.

  • Discuss any concerns you may have about your heart health.

  • Provide personalized advice on how to improve your heart health.
