Heart Healthy Habits

As an orthopedic practice, we are always emphasizing the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle. This has great benefits for your bones, muscles and tendons – but wouldn’t be possible without a strong and healthy heart. February marks the beginning of American Heart Month, and a great opportunity to remind our friends and family to prioritize heart-healthy habits.

Here are the most important ways to keep your heart healthy:

  • Know your health risks
  • Choose heart-healthy foods
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Manage stress
  • Get regular physical activity
  • Quit smoking
  • Get good-quality sleep
