Making the Most of American Heart Month
February is American Heart Month and while this often brings important health checks like blood pressure, cholesterol and wellness checks to the forefront of our minds, there are many factors to heart health that include healthy habits and activities as a family in your home and community! Whether your family uses this dedicated month to focus on incorporating more fruits and vegetables, stepping up your family exercise routine or making sure self care is prioritized just as much as tasks that seem to fill our busy days, every member of your household will be sure to benefit. Use these family-friendly resources to achieve a whole heart approach this month and beyond.
