February is American Heart Month, a time to shine a spotlight on heart health. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, but the good news is that many cases are preventable. Small, consistent choices can make a big difference for your heart—today and for years to come.



Here are heart-healthy habits we encourage all our patients to focus on:

Choose Healthy Food & Drink

Fuel your body with foods that love your heart:


  • Load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
  • Limit salt, added sugars, and saturated fats
  • Stay hydrated water is your best friend
  • Be mindful of portion sizes

Keep a Healthy Weight

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. Walking, cycling, swimming, or even dancing all count. Find movement you enjoy so it becomes part of your routine.

Don’t Smoke

Smoking damages blood vessels and dramatically increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. If you’re ready to quit or think about it we’re here to support you.

Manage Your Medical Conditions

Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol can often be managed with a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring. Staying on top of these conditions is one of the strongest ways to protect your heart.
