id you know that February is American Heart Month, an event first celebrated in February of 1964 through a proclamation from President Lyndon B. Johnson? At the time of the proclamation cardiovascular disease was the cause of more than half of the deaths in the United States. With more than 17.3 million deaths each year, cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke remain one of the main causes of deaths for men and women and that number is expected to climb to more than 23.6 million by the year 2030. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services about 90 percent of middleaged people and more than 74 percent of young adults have one or more risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or being a smoker or overweight. Fortunately many of the risk factors for heart disease can be addressed by being heart healthy! To be heart healthy everyone is encouraged to be more physically active, practice healthy eating habits, quit smoking, find ways to reduce your stress, getting enough quality sleep and tracking your health stats. Making big changes all at once can be difficult, but starting with small steps can get you where you want to be. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends participating in Physical Activity at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Introducing healthy foods such as fruits, veggies and whole

grains into your diet and limiting foods high in saturated fats, sodium and sugars can make a difference. Manage sleep and stress by finding ways to unwind such as reading, participating in relaxation therapy and talking to someone to help manage stress. Know your numbers! Keep track of your health numbers such as blood pressure, weight goals and if you have diabetes your blood sugars. Keeping a log of these numbers to show your doctor during your next medical visit can better assist in finding the right approach for you. Lastly recognizing the signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest and knowing what to do when faced with a situation can be the first step to helping save someone’s life. Contact your local Fire Department to see if they offer CPR courses and training. The Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue Department offers a free AHA Family and Friends CPR Course. This class is intended for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job. The Course is given on the third Monday of each month and lasts approximately 2 hours and starts at 6 PM. For more information contact 954-499-9550 or visit http://www. ppines.com/258/CPR-Classes.
