In Episode 44 of the TSET Better Health Podcast, we celebrate American Heart Month. Cardiologist Tim Daly explains how disease develops in the heart and blood vessels over time and how to stay healthy. We also visit the Cleveland County Wellness Square, where people of all ages gather for classes and activities that are great for both heart and spirit.
"Any exercise, movement, is what makes you live longer," said Daly. "As a matter of fact, I always tell people, I saw a video of these elderly women, they were all over 100. They said, 'What's the key to a long life?' They all said, 'Keep moving.'"
Available on TSET's website and everywhere podcasts are listened to: Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, PodBean, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts.
TSET is staffed by a dedicated and passionate group of people. This month, we would like to introduce Kaye James.
