Superior Sentinel - FEBRUARY 2021
|
February is American Heart Month
Did you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we’re more successful at meeting our health goals when we join forces with others. NHLBI launched the #OurHearts movement to inspire us to protect and strengthen our hearts with the support of others.
Here are some facts, how-to tips, and resources to inspire you to join with others to improve your heart health.
For more information, recipes, eating plans, helpful worksheets and more, please visit National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes website at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/
