Beyond Awareness: Actionable Insights for a Healthier Heart

Remember, you need all fats, saturated, poly unsaturated and monounsaturated. Saturated fat comes from meats and poly unsaturated and monounsaturated fats come from vegetables and seeds!
- Moving Your Body: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly. Find activities you enjoy, from brisk walks to dancing, and make movement a joyful habit.
- Taming the Stress Monster: Chronic stress hurts your heart. Practice deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or simply spend time in nature to find your zen and keep stress at bay. Talk to a friend, shed the emotions.
