February is American Heart Month, a perfect time to focus on simple ways to support your heart. Heart disease is one of the most common—and preventable—health conditions, and small daily choices really do add up.
One of the easiest places to start is with diet. A heart-healthy diet focuses on:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Lean proteins like fish and chicken
- Healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and avocado
- Limiting salt, processed foods, and sugary drinks
Heart-Healthy Recipe to Try
Simple Salmon Bowl
- Baked or grilled salmon
- Brown rice or quinoa
- Steamed broccoli or spinach
- Drizzle with olive oil, lemon, and garlic
This meal is high in protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and easy to prepare—even on busy weeknights.
In addition to nutrition, managing blood pressure, cholesterol, stress, and staying active are all key parts of heart health. Your primary care provider can help you understand your personal risk and create a plan that’s realistic and sustainable.
Your heart works hard for you every day—February is a great reminder to show it a little extra care. ❤️
