You don’t need major lifestyle changes to support your heart. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference—especially during winter, when activity and energy levels tend to drop.
1. Move a Little Each Day
Even 10–15 minutes of walking, stretching, or light indoor activity can help lower blood pressure and support circulation.
2. Add One Heart‑Healthy Food
Choose something simple—like berries, leafy greens, oats, beans, or nuts. Frozen produce works just as well.
3. Watch the Salt
Extra sodium can raise blood pressure. Try rinsing canned foods, choosing lower‑sodium options, or using herbs for flavor.
4. Drink More Water
Staying hydrated helps your heart pump more easily. Aim for steady sips throughout the day.
5. Manage Stress in Small Ways
Deep breaths, a quiet moment, or a quick check‑in with someone you trust can help protect your heart and your mood.
6. Know Your Numbers
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels offer valuable insight into your heart health. A wellness visit can help you understand where you stand.
