4 Steps to Protect Your Heart ❤️
- Quit Tobacco Use: Smoking damages blood vessels and doubles your risk of heart attack. Your heart health improves within just 24 hours of quitting.
- Stay Active: Aim for 30–60 minutes of moderate activity most days. Even 10-minute sessions throughout the day make a difference!
- Eat Heart-Smart: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3s. Limit saturated fats, trans fats, and sodium.
- Know Your Unique Risks: For women, heart disease claims more lives annually than breast cancer, and taking birth control while smoking significantly increases stroke risks after age 35.
Don’t skip a beat. Schedule your heart screening today.
