Having a healthy heart is extremely important and during this American Heart Month Dr. Ankit Chothani, with the Oklahoma Heart Institute, says that there are several ways you can make sure you are keeping it that way.
First, try eating healthy foods like whole grains and fruits and vegetables. You will also want to limit sodium and fats like butter, gravy, and non-dairy creamers.
Next, get about 30 minutes of physical activity for at least five days a week to keep your heart healthy.
Dr. Chothani also recommends getting proper screenings from your doctor. Especially since heart disease is more prevalent now than it was 10 years ago.
