September 29 is World Heart Day!
To celebrate, the CardioPulmonary Department will be celebrating this Friday, September 27 from 8AM-12PM and 1PM-4PM in the RHS Rehab Gym (enter at the Main/ER Entrance)! Stop on by for heart-healthy snacks, free blood pressure checks, and heart health information.
Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States. A few different ways to optimize heart health include:
- Regular exercise with goal of 3x/week for 30minutes – Simply going for a walk will do the trick!
- Drinking plenty of water – Adequate hydration allows the heart to pump more efficiently!
- Stress management – Be sure to allow time for self-care, relaxation, and hobbies!
