The Beat Goes On

This is National Heart Month and the American Heart Association has plenty of information for us. Did you realize that heart disease is the number one cause of death in women in the United States and that heart disease can start in the preschool years?

Do you know your "numbers?" I'm sure you know your shoe size and the balance in your 401K, but how about your blood pressure, LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol, triglycerides, and body mass index (BMI)? If not, make an appointment with your healthcare provider and please find out! If you and your doctor find the numbers are not what you'd like, there are many life style changes you can make - the MOST IMPORTANT being - if you smoke - QUIT! As I recently heard, cigarettes are the only product that when used as directed will kill you!

Go find out what your numbers are.

Bet Fit & Fabulous!
