Simple self-care, such as taking a moment to de-stress, giving yourself time to move more, preparing healthier meals, and not cheating on sleep can all benefit your heart.<\/p>\n<p>Heart disease is largely preventable and focusing on improving your heart health has never been more important. Heart disease is a leading cause of death for women and men in the United States, and many Americans remain at risk of getting it, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/about-nih\/what-we-do\/nih-almanac\/national-heart-lung-blood-institute-nhlbi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NHLBI<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-159524 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Self-care-heart-300x151.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It may be easier than you think to \u201cput your heart\u201d into your daily routine. Look at your week\u2019s schedule and carve out 30 minutes daily for heart-healthy practices. Take an online yoga class, prepare a heart-healthy recipe, schedule your bedtime to get at least seven hours of sleep, or make a medication checklist. Then seek out support from others, even if it\u2019s online or via a phone call, to help you stick to your goals.<\/p>\n<p>February is American Heart Month. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvcc.edu\/studentservices\/health-services\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HVCC Health Services<\/a> is here to support you and your heart health.
