PATIENT SUCCESS STORY SPOTLIGHT

“Yesterday I walked 2 miles without any pain!” “I’ve just completed four weeks of therapy for the back pain I’ve had for years. Before starting, I couldn’t walk or stand for more than ten minutes before I had to sit down. Yesterday I walked 2 miles without any pain for the first time in years. I am so glad to be back exercising again. I cannot thank your team of therapists enough! I am not sure why I waited so long to seek your help. I can assure you next time I won’t.” -B.L.

Tips for Better Heart Health 1. Aim for lucky number seven. Young and middle-aged adults who sleep 7 hours a night have less calcium in their arteries (an early sign of heart disease) than those who sleep 5 hours or less or those who sleep 9 hours or more. 2. Keep the pressure off. Get your blood pressure checked every 3-5 years if you’re 18-39. If you’re 40 or older, or if you have high blood pressure, check it every year. 3. Move more. To keep it simple, you can aim for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of moderate exercise. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, being sedentary for the other 23 1/2 hours is really bad for your heart. 4. Slash saturated fats. To help your heart’s arteries, cut down on saturated fats, which are mainly found in meat and full-fat dairy products. Choose leaner cuts and reduced-fat options. 5. Find out if you have diabetes. Millions of people don’t know that they have this condition. That’s risky because, over time, high blood sugar damages arteries and makes heart disease more likely.
