Heart Care

Taking care of your heart means being conscious of what it takes to keep your heart healthy.  Beginning a regular exercise program can’t be stressed enough.  Exercise, in combination with a healthy diet and the use of herbal and mineral supplements will reduce your chance of heart disease significantly. 

 

Your exercise program doesn’t have to be strenuous or complicated.  You can start out with gentle walking or swimming and then advance to different types of fitness and exercise.  Be sure to check with your health care provider before you start any type of fitness program. This will ensure that there are no complications that you should be aware of.

 

The truth about heart disease is that you have more control than you thought you did.  You are the one that is charge of your health, your fitness, and your heart.

 Sleep loss can affect your overall daily performance and can have a profound affect on your health.   If your sleeplessness continues for a long period of time it can cause problems to your health, your relationships, and your professional life.  It can become an endless cycle of worry and anxieties as you continue to lose sleep every night.
