  • News & Updates

American Heart Month McKinney TX

Great practices to keep your heart healthy during American Heart Month.

Infectious disease has been put on the backburner. Modern US medicine is more concerned with chronic illness. From heart attacks, to strokes, to high blood pressure, heart disease remains one of the biggest killers in the US. In an effort to change the course of rising chronic illness, the Center for Disease Control and Million Hearts are teaming up to get America heart healthy. February marks American Heart Month. Get healthy and check out these tips for healthy living.

Manage your weight.

A healthy weight helps to keep your body healthy. Add more fruits and veggies to your diet. The healthier you eat, the better your body feels.

Reduce your salt intake.

Too much of anything isn’t good for you. Too much sodium is known to increase your blood pressure. While high blood pressure may not seem like a big deal, it can affect your heart health. People with high blood pressure are much more likely to have other heart issues such as a heart attack or stroke.

Exercise more.

Move over leg day! It’s time to make time for heart day. Your heart is a muscle and needs to be strengthened to stay healthy. Be sure to exercise most days of the week for at least thirty minutes per day.

Reduce your alcohol intake.
Too much alcohol can lead to heart disease. If you drink alcohol, be sure to do so in moderation. The average adult male should have no more than two drinks per day, while the average adult female should drink no more than one drink per day.

Take charge of your health and make sure to invest in health insurance. Contact the professionals at Gant Insurance Agency Inc. in McKinney, Texas for all your personal and commercial insurance needs.
