The Heart of the Matter
With Febru-
ary being
American
Heart Month,
we should all
take time to
learn a few
things about
the impor-
tance of heart
health. The heart is the most im-
portant muscle in the body. It works
twenty-four hours a day, seven days
a week without any rest. We all have
at least some risk factors for heart
disease. Some, we cannot control are
age, gender and family history. Risk
factors we can control are obesity,
being sedentary, smoking, high blood
pressure and high cholesterol.
Below are some statistics about heart
disease:
•An estimated 82.6 million American
adults (>1 in 3) have 1 or more types
of cardiovascular disease. Of these,
40.4 million are estimated to be ≥60
years of age.
• Average age of first heart attack is
64.5 years for men and 70.3 years for
women.
Fitness Assessment:
$40/one lesson. Complete Fitness Enjoy a relaxing, therapeutic massage. A
Assessment with a personal exercise massage promotes relaxation, reduces

• One in three U.S. adults has high
blood pressure.
• In adults, total cholesterol levels of
240 mg/dL or higher are considered
high risk. Levels from 200 to 239 mg/
dL are considered borderline-high
risk.
• Of the estimated 18.3 million
Americans with physician-diagnosed
diabetes, about 8.3 million are male.
• In 2007, cardiovascular disease
caused the deaths of 391,886 males.
Cancer killed 292,857 males in 2007.
• Coronary heart disease is the single
major cause of death of American
males, killing 216,050 in 2007. This
represents 53.2% of deaths from
coronary heart disease.
• More than one in three female
adults has some form of cardiovascu-
lar disease (CVD).
• Since 1984, the number of cardio-
vascular disease deaths for females
has exceeded those for males.
• In 2007, cardiovascular disease
was the cause of death in 421,918
females. Females represent 51.8 per-
cent of deaths from cardiovascular

disease.
To improve cardiovascular health and
control heart disease risk factors, fol-
low a diet low in saturated fat and get
plenty of aerobic exercise. Aerobic
exercise includes brisk walking, swim-
ming, cycling and running. To main-
tain current heart health, aerobic
exercise should be done three times
per week and twenty minutes each
time. To improve and maximize heart
health, aim for thirty to sixty minutes
of aerobic exercise most days per
week (5-6 days). Aerobic exercise
should be done at an intensity of a
“breathy” conversation. Breathing
hard enough to prevent talking is too
intense. Easy conversation means
effort needs to be increased.
Cardiovascular disease is the number
one killer. Let’s take the month of
February to improve our cardiovas-
cular health through exercise and
proper diet. Be kind to your sweet
heart.
