As you know, February is Heart Month, and you
really should try to keep your heart in good shape. After all, it keeps
you going. Let’s list some things that you can do for your heart:
F - Fat should be eaten
in small amounts.
E - Exercise of some
kind is a must. I walk.
B - Be careful how much
salt you use. A little goes a long way. Try herbs or spices instead.
R - Reduce your weight,
even if it is only a little bit. The good Lord above knows that I try;
so far no luck.
U - Use common sense
when you eat. Eat smaller portions and more fruits and vegetables.
A - Alcohol should be
used once in a while, not as an every-day occurrence.
R - Reject all tobacco
products. None of them are good for you or your heart. I will have quit
smoking 30 years ago, Feb. 28.
Y - Your heart is in
your hands, so to speak. You put the food on your plate, you decide the
portions and what foods you eat. You should talk to your doctor about an
aspirin regimen or what vitamins you should take. You should do anything
that you can do to keep your ticker ticking. If you just do a few little
adjustments to your lifestyle, you will feel better and possibly live
longer.
My Thought for the Month is: Happy Valentine’s Day
to our readers. Do something to have a happy heart and do something for
somebody else.
