February is National Heart Month and it certainly holds a special place in my heart. Numerous members of my family both present and past have heart issues, so I feel passionately talking about it. My Poppy and many of his brothers and sisters, had many heart scares when I was a young girl and I remember each and every one like it was yesterday. That’s the way it goes when you see someone you love hurt.

Small Changes to your Routine

Making simple changes to diet and exercise can also lower their risk of cardiovascular problems. Get outdoors and go for a walk every day – bring the dog, make it fun! Fresh air can give your mind and body and instant recharge. 

Swap out a meal with a healthy salad… start small by incorporating a salad one or two days per week and gradually increase the days and it will become a habit. A heart healthy habit!

February is National Heart Month

Now is the time to educate your family and friends during National Heart Month  about the importance of heart health. A low dose aspirin regimen may help some individuals lower their risk of recurrent heart attack and stroke. It’s very important that you talk to your doctor before starting or changing an aspirin regimen. While there are many benefits to a low dose aspirin therapy, it’s not right for everyone.

During your next doctor visit, be sure to speak with them about making basic lifestyle changes that can help your heart health. If you have suffered a heart attack in the past, discuss with your doctor how implementing St. Joseph’s Low Dose Aspirin into your heart health routine may help reduce your risk of recurrent heart attacks or clot-related strokes. 

Sometimes it’s the little things that can make a big change.

Speaking with your doctor regularly about your heart health is so important. If you’ve suffered from a heart attack in the past, your doctor may recommend low dose aspirin as a preventative measure that can have long lasting effects on your health. Aspirin helps to prevent blood clots from forming, therefore helping to prevent another heart attack or stroke.

Spread the Word during National Heart Month

Talk to your loved ones and encourage them to visit their doctor either in-person or online. We can now safely visit with a doctor from the comfort of our own home which also gives you the chance to inquire about if implementing St. Joseph’s Low Dose Aspirin into your heart health regimen is a good option for you if you’ve had a prior heart attack or stroke. And remember, always talk to your doctor before starting or changing an aspirin regimen.
