Top Fitness Tips for Heart Health

Diet and exercise are crucial for a healthier lifestyle, and the benefits of exercising extend well beyond just managing weight.

Fitness is also an excellent way to keep your heart healthy and strong! According to the American Heart Association (AHA), engaging in just 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week can significantly benefit cardiovascular health.¹

The AHA emphasizes that physical activity includes any movement that burns calories. Consider starting with walking or yoga!
