Women's Health: Heart Health

Hello Fit-NOW Friends!

The American Heart Association website states heart disease as the number one killer in women and more deadly than any other cancer. Have you caught yourself saying any of the following statements about heart disease in women? “It’s a man’s disease.” “Breast cancer is the real thread.” In reality one in 31 American women die from breast cancer each year and heart disease claims the lives of one in three. It’s time to stop listening to the myths and take responsibility for your own heart health ladies! There are many other myths out there regarding Women’s Health and heart health for women, so if you catch yourself dismissing it with a catch phrase you have heard before, STOP and take the time to look it up and see if the statement is true. It could mean the difference between your life and death. Don’t forget you ALWAYS have a choice to change and by making healthy choices many times you can even reverse heart disease!

Getting rid of your belly fat is one of the top suggestions by Dr. Oz to lower your risk for heart disease. When looking in the mirror, we each have the feeling we need to whittle our waist so we can fit into those skinny jeans, but more importantly it is crucial to eliminate that belly fat squeezing our organs so they don’t function correctly.  

He also suggests remembering to breath! You have heard that before here on Fit-NOW Girl that we have to slow down and remember to breath. Taking a deep breath is similar to hitting a restart button to help zap stress. It also helps get rid of nitric oxide in your body that depletes blood vessels in your body.

Are you new to taking a deep breath? Here are few quick pointers:

·* Breath in for five seconds filling your lungs, you will feel your belly moving away from your spine

·* Next exhale for seven seconds, while pulling your belly button back towards your spine.

When we get busy and stressed, one might take short shallow breaths without even realizing it. We all take breathing for granted, but it can be crucial for your heart health.

Another tip to ensure your heart stays healthy is to eliminate drinking soda, completely! Not only are those sugary beverages not helping your heart, but its wasted calories that won’t help you reach your goal weight.
