Tips to prevent heart disease:

  • Look at your belly!  Carrying extra weight around the abdominal area increases our risk of heart disease.  When there is increased abdominal fat, or visceral fat, it not only lies just under the skin’s surface but also surrounds your vital organs, which causes serious health problem.  Not sure how your belly should look?  Measure your waist in inches and divide it by your hip measurement in
  • Look at your belly!  Carrying extra weight around the abdominal area increases our risk of heart disease.  When there is increased abdominal fat, or visceral fat, it not only lies just under the skin’s surface but also surrounds your vital organs, which causes serious health problem.  Not sure how your belly should look?  Measure your waist in inches and divide it by your hip measurement in inches.  If your waist to hip ratio is more than .90 for men and more than .75 for women, changes need to be made!
  • Toning and strengthening your abdominal muscles are great exercise, but spot exercising will not reduce your abdominal fat.  A healthy lifestyle with routine exercise and daily physical activity will help fight obesity as well as reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease!
  • Eat from the earth, not from the factory.  No processed, artificial ‘food-like stuff’ but rather an abundance of wholesome vegetables, fruit, lean protein, some whole grains and low fat dairy, nuts, seeds and other healthy fats such as olive oil.  Hydrate well with water. Partake regularly and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle!
  • Don’t smoke and if you drink alcohol, keep it to a minimum.

If you need help getting heart healthy,
please call 908-252-0242 for a
free consultation during the month of February.  
The 30 minute complimentary consultation is absolutely free.  
There is no fee, no insurance charge and no obligation.
