February
Heart Health Month
Despite great improvements in cardiovascular care, cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death and disability in the United States for men and women. And heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are actually the number one killer of American women.

Unfortunately, by the time heart problems are detected, the underlying cause is usually quite advanced.

During American Heart Month learn how to take care of your heart. A good first step in lowering your risk of heart disease is to learn which dietary fats lower your LDL cholesterol and which ones don't.

Also the American Heart Association recently upgraded its Website with lots of new, helpful information, including "Life's Simple 7 Steps" to live better, as well as a wealth of general information and good dietary tips.

Get to know your cholesterol levels and, as always, discuss them with your doctor.

Get plenty of rest, stay physically active and eat nutritious foods.

If you are sick, stay home. Drink fluids and avoid contact with others as much as possible.
