February is American Heart Month.  According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans.  They offer seven areas that we can improve to reduce our risk of heart disease:
- Get Active
 
- Control Cholesterol
 
- Eat Better
 
- Manage Blood Pressure
 
- Lose Weight
 
- Reduce Blood Sugar
 
- Stop Smoking
 
I think that everyone who is reading this is a non-smoker, so one down, six to go! :)   I'll be updating with more information in each area throughout the month.
