Think of your heart as your body’s center or anchor.  It’s the muscle that gives us life.  You need to do everything you can to keep your heart healthy:

• Eat a colorful, low-fat, low-sodium, low-sugar and high-fiber balanced diet
• Exercise regularly
• Maintain a healthy body weight.  If you are obese or overweight, lose the pounds
• No smoking
• Drink moderately – wine is better than beer or hard alcohol
• Drink lots of water – at least 8 eight-ounce cups per day
• Drink tea – green, oolong, black or herbal – at least 3 cups per day
• Take daily vitamins, minerals and supplements
• Reduce your stress
• Enjoy every breath of life
