Unlocking One Secret to a Healthy Heart — Move
A HEALTHY HEART IS VITAL FOR WELL-BEING and longevity. Heart disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide, emphasizing the importance of understanding the secrets to maintaining heart health. While no magical solution exists, this essay explores a holistic approach to unlocking one secret of a healthy heart — move.
I am particularly sensitive to the topic, as my extraordinary father died of cardiovascular disease in his 86th year. How many people can call Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King friends? Or co-found a community college to open doors for the less privileged?
Of course, regularly tending to your heart health should not be limited to those of us who have lost a loved one to cardiovascular disease. Moreover, you don’t have to go extreme regarding risk reduction.
I focus on adopting lifestyle changes, including engaging in physical activity, following a heart-healthy diet, managing stress, and staying connected with loved ones.
This approach should significantly improve my heart health and reduce my risk of cardiovascular disease.
