A Moment of Wellness…

February = American Heart Month

There are many types of heart and blood vessel diseases.  Over 60 million Americans have one or more of them.  Heart and blood vessel problems develop over time, when arteries that supply the heart or brain with blood slowly become clogged from buildup of cells, fat, and cholesterol.  When the blood flow gets blocked you can have a heart attack or stroke.

Many types of heart disease may be prevented. The keys to preventing heart disease include:

Stop smoking
Lower your blood pressure
Eat a healthy diet
Be physically active
Get regular medical checkups

DID YOU KNOW:  Massage has been used in healing for thousands of years and is based on the idea that body manipulation can be used to aid in movement of energies. There are many forms of massage, and in recent years methods that focus more on inducing relaxation have developed. Massage has claimed to bring about such improvements as relaxation, relief of muscle tension, improved sleep, and improved blood circulation. Massage has also been shown to have beneficial short-term effects in patients experiencing anxiety. (As stated in Cleveland Clinic’s Heart & Vascular Health Prevention)
