In America, there’s a huge need for heart disease awareness. We eat badly, exercise less, and have a very high risk for developing heart disease in this country. Here are a few tips from the American Heart Association on changing your ways and gaining a healthier heart.
Good Nutrition-it’s not always easy to understand what’s good and what isn’t. A salad may look healthy, but sometimes can have more calories and fats than a home-cooked dinner! Study up on your nutritional facts here: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/Nutrition-Center_UCM_001188_SubHomePage.jsp
Getting Active-taking the stairs, walking to work, strolling in the park during your lunch break…getting exercise is easier than you may think! Try on some new ideas here: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/PhysicalActivity/Physical-Activity_UCM_001080_SubHomePage.jsp
Weight Management-Being overweight strains your heart and all your organs in your body. It’s important to find a good weight for you! Learn more here: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/WeightManagement/Weight-Management_UCM_001081_SubHomePage.jsp
Stress Management – stress affects us all in different ways. Through aches and pains, or emotional upsets. Learning how to manage your stress leads to a healthy heart! http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/StressManagement/Stress-Management_UCM_001082_SubHomePage.jsp
Fats and Oils- Meet Mr. Fat and Ms. Oil. Who’s the real villain? Can they live in harmony? See here: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/FatsAndOils/Fats-Oils_UCM_001084_SubHomePage.jsp
Quit Smoking- Quitting smoking is the number one way to prevent premature death. Do it! http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/QuitSmoking/Quit-Smoking_UCM_001085_SubHomePage.jsp

I think heart diseases are a worldwide problem these days. I know a lot of people who suffer from this, whether it’s “just” bad blood pressure or thrombosis. We need to stop this develeopment and find a cure for those, who are already sick.

Thank you for the information. Heart disease is a problem-like cancer-that affects everyone. Even if you aren’t afflicted with it yourself, surely someone you know has it, or has had it, or in my case, lost family to it. It’s so important with modern medicine and techonology advancing as it has, that someone finds a cure. I thank you for highlighting this cause and doing the giveaway. The more people post/blog/raise awareness of it, the better the chances are down the road.
Great Charity. Posted on my blog.
heart disease in women is an ever increasing threat. Most people don’t think about their heart until it’s too late.

I appreciate all of the information I can get from the American Heart Association as I have 2 stents that are keeping my LAD open and keeping me here. I was lucky and didn’t have a heart attack nor did I have heart damage and I’d like to keep it that way.
