February is โค๏ธ American Heart Monthโค๏ธ , a great time to revisit heart-healthy practices! One way to ensure good health, is to keep tabs on your blood pressure, especially as doctors visits are down due to the pandemic.

โค๏ธ February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness of heart disease, which is the #1 killer of Americans. โค๏ธ This year's heart month is especially important, as it becomes evident that COVID-19 can negatively affect the heart and vascular system's overall health.
The good news is that in most cases, heart disease is preventable! Reduce your risk of heart disease by: not smoking or quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, and attending regular check ups!
