February is American Heart Month. Most of us know someone who has had a heart attack or stroke. In Maine about 23% of all deaths are from heart disease and another 5% are from stroke.
You can help protect yourself and your loved ones from heart disease and stroke by understanding the risks and taking these steps:
- Know your ABCS
- Ask your doctor if you should take an Aspirin every day
- Find out if you have high Blood pressure or Cholesterol, if you do, work with your doctor to treat it
- If you Smoke, get help to quit
- Be physically active at least 30 minutes on most days
- Eat more fruits, vegetables and other foods low in sodium and transfat
- Take medicine as prescribed by your doctor
