Heart Smart Tips

If you would like your heart to work great today and everyday, then you must be pro-active. Your loved ones might be very happy that you took the time to help yourself live better and live longer. Here are some "Heart Smart Tips", to get you started on a prevention program…

  • Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator at work, school or the mall. Just start with one flight. Soon, you'll be ready for two.
  • Park your car at the far end of the parking lot. The short walk to and from the store or school helps your heart.
  • If you ride a bus or subway, get off a stop before your destination. Walk the rest of the way.
  • If you can, spend a few minutes of your lunch break taking a stroll around the campus grounds. It should help you stay awake after lunch.
  • Think of housework as an extra chance to exercise. Vacuuming briskly can be a real workout.
  • Shoveling the driveway, mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, and raking leaves are chores that can be done yourself as a chance to exercise.
  • If you have a dog, think of the dog as an exercise machine with fur. A brisk walk with the dog is good for both of your hearts. Make it a part of your daily routine.
  • If you have a family, schedule an after-dinner walk. Make it quality time.
  • Get an Awesome Adjustment to make sure your heart is getting the proper nerve input from the brain!
