Tis the season for … heart attacks.

You have  -

Poor diet

Holiday stress

Work stress

Finanacial stress

No exercise

Cold weather

Shoveling

Not enough sleep

It all adds up to a prescription for disaster.

Protect your heart this holiday season -

Eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day

Eat rich foods in moderation

Try to get some fish  in

Take your vitamins. This time of year you need to be supplementing with Vitamin D, and fish oil or something to get your Omega 3s – on top of your normal multi & anti-oxidants. If you’re over 50 or on blood pressure meds, you definitely should be taking CoQ10.

Eat all day. Don’t just do all of your eating at dinner. You need to keep your body fueled throughout the day, and you’ll burn more calories.

Get enough sleep.

Try your best to not over-schedule. Yes, it’s hard to do.
