Fit-Twist Health: Heart Chat

I'm 100% committed to my dream of creating a better, healthier world.

1 in 3 deaths in U.S are caused by heart attacks and strokes. I learned about the A, B, C of cardiovascular disease prevention - Aspirin, Blood pressure and Cholesterol control. Did you know that air pollution increases or triggers heart attacks and strokes? "Put the fun or joy back to being healthy." Regina Benjamin, U.S. Surgeon General tweeted. Prevention is #1. February is American Heart Month! Use social media to encourage healthy heart habits in your area!

How do I love my heart? Let me count the ways.

I eat a balanced diet and exercise every day.

I do things that are good for me.

I make healthy choices in all areas of my life.

I educate and empower others to be healthy.

I allow myself to be who I want to be and do what I love to do!

List some things that you do for your heart.

"Reminding people of your fundraising goals HELPS in so many ways! In Sales terms, it typically takes 7-12 “touches” to motivate people to take action. Keep posting your enthusiasm on Facebook, Tweeting your excitement that you are reaching your goals, and emailing your thoughts on this upcoming challenge. Not only will you be reminding your friends, family, co-workers, etc. about your commitment, but also encouraging them to do something that will make them feel good – helping others! So get your thoughts and reminders out there daily." Jennifer Cook at Yogathon wrote. The Cancer Support Community-Benjamin Center is delighted to be holding the Westside’s first ever YOGATHON and I joined as a virtual yogi! They have some of the best attended yoga classes and offer 7 yoga classes a week, all free of charge for people impacted by cancer. It makes sense that we honor this ancient mind-body practice which brings us all so much benefit in this fast paced, busy modern world of ours! They will offer you a complete YOGATHON Training Program with weekly group practices, a schedule of how often and when to practice to prepare for the event, tips and tools on yoga, meditation, nutrition and general wellbeing — as well as support in raising your funds. Deepen your yoga practice and enjoy classes that will be taught by some of the top teachers in L.A!
