This month we are focusing on your healthy heart. The symptoms of heart disease are not always noticeable until your disease has progressed. You then may be short of breath, have chest discomfort, difficulty with your speech or heart palpitations.

We encourage you to “Exercise Your Way to a Healthier Heart” with:

Aerobic exercise
Resistance training
Flexible workouts

You can also improve your heart health with:

Decreasing stress
Improve your activity level
Decrease your weight
Control your diabetes
Stop smoking
Consume a healthy diet and limit your salt intake ( use less than a teaspoon a day or 2300 milligrams )

Just a reminder to clean your reusable water bottle daily, to eliminate bacteria.

The recipe this month is baked fish. If you are calling me for dinner, hold the parmesan cheese please!

Wishing you a heart healthy life!
