American Heart Month

Do you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.? 

Heart disease continues to be the greatest health threat to Americans and is still the leading cause of death worldwide, according to AHA’s Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics – 2021 Update. 

In most cases, heart disease is preventable when people adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week and getting regular checkups. 

Learn about steps you can take to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
