Heart Health: Exercise and Nutrition Resources

Eat Right and Take a Step toward Exercise

By practicing healthy habits, you can prevent heart disease entirely, improve a health condition, or reverse and eliminate a life-threatening risk. Topping the list to achieve good heart health are diet and exercise.

With so many diets, books and experts out there, where does one start? The American Heart Association's Web site is a good place: www.americanheart.org. Here, you can find the No-Fad Diet book, a "Fats 101" quiz to help you understand where fat is at, nutrition facts, diet and lifestyle recommendations, tips for grocery shopping...even recipes!

Heart health also means exercising. All healthy people age 18 to 65 should get a minimum of 30 minutes of activity at moderate intensity at least five days a week, according to a study by the American Heart Association and American College of Sports Medicine. The site offers guidelines and programs you can use to jump in. These include:

Start! This is the AHA's movement to get American's moving, by encouraging walking and other good habits.
BetterU: An online program that promotes wellness and heart health for women. It's free!

There are also helpful guidelines, tips, and programs for kids. You can make it a family commitment to fun...and good health!
