February is recognized as American Heart Month.
Taking care of your health by engaging in regular physical activity is one of the keys to a healthy heart.
Join guest speaker Amy Sell, Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital Health & Wellness Center manager, during the next LKH Community Health session on Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the LKH Administration Classroom, 2101 E. DuBois Drive, Warsaw.
Sell will share how regular physical activity can help strengthen your heart and improve your overall health. Exercise helps modify many of the risk factors for heart disease. A regular exercise routine, combined with healthy eating, can help lower blood pressure, lessen risk of developing diabetes, maintain a healthy body weight and reduce inflammation throughout the body, according to a news release from Lutheran.
Your approach to cardiovascular wellness should encompass consistent exercise, a nutritious diet, keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check, coping with emotional stress, and eliminating tobacco use. Your healthcare provider can offer the most effective care plan for managing these risk factors.
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation, which is age-appropriate for teens through adults.
