"Cardio-Smart Resolutions: Embracing Heart Health at Every Age"

Cardiologists recommend four key New Year's resolutions to improve heart health: committing to regular exercise, knowing important health numbers (like blood pressure and cholesterol), focusing on nutrition by eating a heart-healthy diet, and prioritizing sleep to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. These lifestyle changes can help manage risk factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure, which are linked to heart attacks and strokes. The American Heart Association suggests 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous exercise weekly, alongside a nutritious diet and adequate sleep.
