Traditionally the month for lovers, February is also dedicated as Healthy Heart Month. When considering your heart's health, the best advice is take care of your heart and it will take care of you.
Dr. Joel Posner, a noted cardiologist from Philadelphia, shares his prescription for a healthy heart:
1. Get plenty of exercise.
2. Keep your heart clean: drug free and smoke free.
3. Follow a good diet: low in fat, limited in sodium, and limit or eliminate chemicals such as MSG, caffeine and food additives whenever possible.
