This month’s contest is all about LOVE!
Yes Valentine’s Day is this month. Did you know February is also heart awareness month? Today, in fact is the American Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day. Heart disease remains the number one killer of American women, in fact in the U.S. 1 in 4 women die from heart disease. The CDC outlines steps you can take to maintain a healthy heart. These include maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise.
Did you know that love is good for your heart?
- Spending time with a loved can lower your blood pressure
- Hugging a loved one releases oxytocin, the feel good hormone which helps to reduce stress
- Writing a love letter can lower your cholesterol
- Holding hands can calm your nerves reducing stress and anxiety
When have you felt showered with love? I feel loved all the time! At least once a day my heart is warmed by an experience with one of my clients (and often my client’s children – love these little nuggets!)
