February is National Heart Healthy Month, and it's the perfect time to start taking care of your heart! It all began in 1963 when President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the first "Heart Disease Control Week," and since then, there has been an ongoing effort to promote awareness of heart health. With this special month, we can take advantage of our opportunity to learn more about how we can live a healthier lifestyle and reduce our risk of cardiovascular disease. So let's get started on improving our hearts for a better tomorrow!
