Roohan Realty Goes RED for American Heart Month!
Learn How to Live a Heart-Healthy Lifestyle
February 21st, 2023
It’s time to get smart with your heart! Heart disease is the number 1 killer worldwide and even when those conditions don’t result in death, they can cause disability and diminish overall quality of life. February is designated as American Heart Month to advocate for cardiovascular health and raise awareness about heart disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many cardiovascular related deaths would have been preventable with proper preventative care. With increased awareness, education and lifestyle changes, we can help more Americans live longer, fuller, healthier lives and be an advocate for healthy habits. Remember, it’s never too late to start living a healthy lifestyle!
When it comes to physical fitness, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommend that adults get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity. They also suggest adding moderate to high intensity muscle-strengthening activity on at least 2 days per week as well as spending less time sitting.
