Did you have a happy Valentine's Day? I hope so!
I think you should give yourself a post Valentine's gift and I have a great idea on the best gift you can give yourself: THE GIFT OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEART.
February is American Heart Month. The goal is to raise public awareness about heart disease. Did you know that it is the leading cause of death in women?
Here are some things you can start doing now at your age to take care of your heart. Make sure you pass on the information to someone you love - that helps your heart and theirs :)
Limit your intake of fat
Choose heart-healthy fats over saturated fats and trans fats
Limit your intake of sugars
Limit your intake of sodium/salt
Choose more whole grains, legumes, fresh produce and low fat dairy products
Choose lean meat and poultry
Include fish in your diet
Exercise portion control
Become physically active for 30 to 60 minutes a day
