As we celebrate Heart Health Month this February, it’s important to recognize that while lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management are key to maintaining a healthy heart, our genetics also play a significant role.
Family history can influence our risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular conditions. Understanding these genetic factors, along with making heart-healthy lifestyle choices, can empower us to take proactive steps toward better heart health.
Did you know that our dietary choices can influence how your genes behave? While lifestyle choices play a significant role in
heart health, understanding your genetic risks can help guide prevention strategies, including dietary manipulations to reduce overall risk. This month’s newsletter will take a closer look at genes & cardiovascular risk.
Let’s use this Heart Month as motivation to prioritize our cardiovascular health through genetic testing, mindful choices and
sustainable habits. Wishing you a heart-healthy February!
