I make a point to exercise daily and try to eat healthy foods. Eating healthy is the hardest part because so many things that aren't good for you or are fattening taste so good.
Do you do anything special to keep your heart healthy?

I like you try to eat healthy. In the mornings I try to do a fruit smoothie( beets, pineapples, berries and ginger with flax seeds. I take the stairs most of the time and try not to sit all day at work.
ReplyDeleteMy dad and uncle both died from heart disease. It is something that I always have to be mindful of in my life. I had my stress test done in November and everything looks good.

Sonetta, good for you in being proactive in trying to prevent heart disease. Your smoothie sounds good except for the beets. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Merrillee! I try to eat healthy, too. And I'm hoping to start daily walks as soon as the weather in Michigan is more fitting for it. Lol. I need to quit sitting around all winter and be more active! I know it will help me feel better and keep me healthier.
ReplyDeleteI try to eat healthy, with varying success. :) I do exercise 6 days a week. That may help heart disease, but really, it just makes me feel better in general. I can tell when I've missed a day.
ReplyDeleteBrittina, one thing I've done when the weather outside isn't good for walking is walking indoors. I've used the Leslie Sansone videos for 3 & 4 mile walks. I used them so much that I know the steps and do my own routine while I watch TV. It makes the time go fast.
ReplyDeleteMomIsReading, I know what you mean about feeling the difference when you miss a day of exercise. I wear a fitness tracker, too. That helps me.
ReplyDeleteI had by first heart attack in 2008,i was 41, I had compo in 2007, it that is what caused lot of problems, I eat healthy n exercise, n see my doctor regular, thank you for the chance
ReplyDeleteI walk with kids around our town that keeps them active too
ReplyDeleteTina, I'm so glad you are doing the right things to deal with your heart disease. My brother had his heart attack when he was 44. He is now in his 60s.
ReplyDeleteSandra, that's a really good plan. It's important to keep the kids active, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Merrillee. I'm a big Leslie Sansone fan as well. I use her walking videos about 4 times a week and then I do strength training the other 2 days with Jillian Michaels videos. My husband bought me a Fitbit for Christmas and I have been tracking my steps (10,000 a day). Since I hit 45, I noticed my metabolism has come to a screeching halt. I seem to have to exercise twice as hard to stay in shape and keep my heart healthy!
ReplyDeleteSandra, sounds like you have a good plan. I know what you mean about the metabolism coming to a screeching halt.
