It’s so easy to forget about the heart during happy times. It’s just beating away, doing its thing. But when we are scared or nervous or even must climb up a couple flights of stairs this guy lets us know, “hey- you are alive, and I am working hard to keep it that way” In the last blog we talked about how chronic stress and even a single traumatic event can negatively impact that heart. But there are so many things we can do to support the heart.
3. Stay Active- It is recommended by the heart and stroke foundation that you accumulate 150 minutes of activity a week. This can be done in as little as 10-minute intervals. Exercise will keep your heart happy and strong. Today’s blog video is ANOTHER 15 min cardio workout. This time we take it up a bit so get ready to sweat. It can seem overwhelming to fit all this into your regular routine. An area I really struggle with is proper nutrition. So, I have also included some heart healthy recipes below to help with that respect. Burrito Bowls and Chili are great because you can make a huge batch and have leftovers for ever! Bonne Appetit.
