Love Your Heart: February is American Heart Month!

February is American Heart Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and encouraging everyone to take steps to prevent heart disease. At Jaken Medical, we believe a healthy heart is the key to a healthy life, and we're committed to supporting both patients and the healthcare professionals who care for them.

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in the United States, but the good news is that it's often preventable. Small changes can make a big difference! This month (and every month), we encourage you to focus on these key areas:

Know Your Numbers: Understanding your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels is crucial. Schedule a check-up with your doctor to get a baseline and discuss any concerns. Early detection is key.

Fuel Your Body Right: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is essential for heart health. Limit processed foods, saturated fats, and excessive sodium.

Get Moving: Regular physical activity strengthens your heart. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Even a brisk walk can make a difference!

Stress Less: Chronic stress can take a toll on your heart. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature.

Quit Smoking: Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you smoke, quitting is the single best thing you can do for your heart health.

This American Heart Month, let's commit to making heart-healthy choices.  We're here to support both individuals on their journey to a healthier heart and the medical community dedicated to providing that care.  Jaken Medical is proud to partner with cardiologists and other healthcare providers, offering the equipment and supplies they need to deliver exceptional cardiac care.
