• Manage stress through relaxation techniques
• Get regular health screenings
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption
This February, let's transform heart health from a medical statistic into a personal journey of wellness and self-care. Your heart is the engine of your body – treat it with the love and attention it deserves.
