Heart Healthy Tips!

For each hour of regular exercise you get, you'll gain about two hours of additional life expectancy, even if you don't start until middle age.
High blood pressure is often called "the silent killer" because it has no symptoms, so you may not be aware that it is damaging your arteries, heart and other organs. Everyone needs to know their blood pressure numbers.
