TAKE THESE STEPS FOR A HEALTHIER HEART: Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Know your numbers. What’s your blood pressure? Cholesterol levels? Blood sugar? Body mass index? Be aware of symptoms you may not associate with heart issues. Besides chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations and passing out could all be signs. If you experience them, see your doctor. Exercise, eat healthy and manage mental well-being. The American Heart Association recommends adults do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both, preferably spread throughout the week. It’s also good to do moderate- to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activities such as resistance or weights at least two days a week. But even small changes help. Take the stairs. Walk 10 minutes.
