Heart health is always a major factor in wellbeing goals, there are many statistics, facts, and figures on the deterioration of heart health across the USA and none of them are pleasing or encouraging!

Just to put a light on it, here are a few of them from the CDC:
- One person dies every 36 seconds from cardiovascular-related disease.
- Heart disease is the main cause of death in the USA for both men and women.
- Around 655,000 Americans die every year from heart-related incidents/diseases. This amounts to around 1 in 4 of the population.
These are scary and sobering figures to digest; however, it does highlight the need for a greater focus on better heart and cardiovascular health. This is for both men and women, traditionally, heart disease was thought of as more of a male disease or something that men were more susceptible to, but as the figures above state- this is not the case!
Women should take as much care with their heart health as men do. So how can you better protect your heart and cardiovascular health? There are many answers because every positive thing that you do for health and wellbeing can be advantageous for your heart.
Here are just a few of the most basic things you can become more aware of or incorporate in order to improve your heart and cardiovascular function!
