The Alliance Review
Welcome to Valentine’s Day weekend, when many of us in the Alliance area, like people around the nation, focus on matters of the heart.
Looking at that organ itself is also a great idea. This is why the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has designated February as American Heart Month.
In normal years, heart disease is the number one cause of American fatalities. Last year, tragically, it was surpassed by COVID, which so far in 2021 appears on track to maintain that top spot.
This doesn’t mean heart issues don’t matter. If anything, they may matter more than ever. People staying home over the past year, eating more, exercising less, and stressing over the pandemic, could exacerbate existing heart conditions or plant seeds for future cardiac conditions.
