Heart-Healthy Tips

1. Nutrition for the Heart:
   February is an ideal time to reevaluate your diet. Consider incorporating heart-healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Opt for unsaturated fats and limit the intake of saturated and trans fats. Fun fact: I can provide guidance on insurance policies that cover nutrition counseling or wellness programs!
2. Stay Active:
   Physical activity is a cornerstone of heart health. Many insurance policies offer coverage for gym memberships or fitness programs. Whether it’s yoga, jogging, or hitting the gym, find an activity that you enjoy and fits your lifestyle. 
3. Regular Health Check-ups:
   Routine health check-ups are vital for detecting and managing potential heart issues. Many policies cover preventive care, ensuring that you have access to regular screenings and health assessments.
4. Manage Stress Levels:
   High stress levels can contribute to heart problems. Incorporate stress-management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or engaging in hobbies. Some insurance policies may cover mental health services.

*Note: If you DO have a heart condition, please reach out. There are special plans that cut medical costs and can include a monthly credit for groceries that does not have to be low income to qualify. You can also enroll into this all year long.

   Prepare a nutritious, homemade meal with your loved ones. Choose recipes that feature heart-healthy ingredients and enjoy the process of cooking and sharing a delicious meal.
