Some of my Summertime Roses

 February, of course is known for it's out showing and delivery of Roses to celebrate the love holiday. But, far greater than the emotion of the heart, is the well being of the physical heart.

February is National Heart Disease Prevention Month. Isn't it time to find out the answer to "What do your inherited genetics and your heart health numbers have in common?" I've read this book and is serves as another reminder to be good to your heart!

The Heart Health Numbers (which is my pet name for them) help take out the mystery of at least a few heart GENETIC predisposition worries that some of us know are in our gene pool. I for one, am such a lady.  At times, don't we all like being an ostrich? However, the power of KNOWING some key heart health numbers takes some sting and unknown into the light of day and propels us forward to better health!

My numbers recently spoke to me - regardless of the healthy life style I try to live by. After feeling shock, disbelief and denial; my silver lining aha moment arrived. I can be in control and do something to make the difference!

You all know out there, RIGHT? - You- ladies who are dressing in red this month! Please tell me you  know some of your heart health numbers, not just your blood pressure. Okay- start with the BP, but take it FURTHER. Start with your bp number! Stick your arm in the bp heart machines located in almost every grocery store or pharmacy and let it rip! Find out what your range is!



But Show Your Heart Some Love this Month!



 

Heart disease is a MAJOR health risk for women. Knowing your heart numbers is akin to your heart early warning signal working! This is a test, only a test, but one that could save your life! .

My discovery, a blessing was a well taken to heart warning - start your repair. “Heart disease affects men and women and now, unfortunately, at younger ages."

Let the heart repair begin! So; only one way forward, pro-active. Plan of Attack:  Move more, add weights, eat less and learn to eat better via Weight Watchers.  Starting Weight Watchers allows me to feel pampered; as I am now WAY pickier with foods than I ever was. My own good reason to eat healthy.
