Well, Well, here we are in February already. It is hard to believe we have one month in the new year gone already and a little more than 10 months left until Christmas. So, maybe you should start your Christmas shopping early. Check with Chilton's Paula Mortimer, and she can tell you exactly how many days until Christmas. However, let's continue on how important the month of February really is.
It is not only American Heart Month, but it is also the month we celebrate love because Valentine's Day is on Feb. 14. Actually heart and love go hand-in-hand together. I will explain what I mean. The heart is a very amazing organ and we should love it to death. If you haven't already, now would be the ideal time to fall in love with your heart and take extremely good care of it. One way you can do that is by choosing heart-healthy food choices when snacking and eating your meals. This month how about starting an exercising program and sticking to it? Yes, I exercise. I either walk or ride my stationary bike. It is a good stress reliever. Stress relief is also good for the heart, so start this month. Another way to love your heart is take control of your cholesterol. You can receive a lot of information about the heart by going to american-heart.org or calling their toll free number. You are in charge. Nobody, not even your doctor, can do as much as you can do to guard yourself against heart disease and stroke. Only you can make the daily choices that lead to good heart health. |
