Georgia, On My Mind: Keep Your Heart Healthy

Monthly thoughts from Councilwoman at Large Georgia Awig

Do you know that February is American Heart Month? Do you love your heart as much as you love your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day? Do you know how to keep your heart healthy so you can live a long life with those you love? Do you know that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States? Have you had your heart checked lately?

For answers to these questions, you might want to consult the internet as I did. You will find a wealth of information on foods that you should eat and other activities you should do or avoid. I would suggest you use this month to reflect on whether you are doing everything you can do to treat your heart right. It might require a visit to a Doctor or you might just look at the list of things you can do today to make a difference to your heart.

Just remember we only have one life to live and no one can live without a heart. Unlike other organs in the body where we were given two, we only have one heart. What are you going to do today to keep your heart healthy?
