If you or someone you love have been told that your cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat percentage or weight put you at risk for heart disease, you probably were advised to eat healthier and exercise more.
Sounds simple, right? Then why do so many of us struggle with those two things?
I think the answer lies in looking at this question through a holistic health lens. The holistic approach considers not just diet and exercise, but also stress levels, sleep quantity and quality, life-balance, social connections and more. For example, it's hard to be healthy when you are sleep deprived, exhausted from caring for family, or completely stressed out at work.
It may sound intimidating to take on stress management and sleeping more in addition to eating healthy and exercising. But doing so is essential to living a heart-healthy life.
These are quick and easy ways to manage your stress and nourish your mind and body, but they can reap big rewards in helping support a healthy heart.
