March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancers are the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the U.S. While more than 130,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancers are expected to be diagnosed in 2016, the overall incidence and death rates associated with this disease have been on the decline for more than a decade. Effective screening in the form of colonoscopies is the primary driver of these declines, which is why it is recommended that all men and women begin routine testing at the age of 50.

You got your father’s eyes, your grandmother’s laugh, but what about your uncle’s heart disease? While some inherited traits are good, others, like heart disease, aren’t so good. And it’s important to know that your risk of heart disease is strongly linked to your family history.
February 24, 2017
Often we hear about all the things that are bad for our hearts – smoking, diets high in fat, low levels of physical activity. Likewise, we often discuss the things that improve or protect your heart health – exercising regularly, eating well, decreasing stress, and seeking preventive healthcare.
February 24, 2017
When a heart attack strikes, every minute matters. In fact, the first few minutes are critical in determining the short-term and long-term outcome for the patient. According to the National Institutes of Health, of the people who die from heart attacks, about half will die within an hour of their first symptoms.

There is perhaps nothing more important for the health of your mind and body than consistently getting a good night’s sleep. This is the only time the body gets to truly slow down and relax, and you owe it to yourself and get a good night’s sleep every night.

Taking an active role in your preventative health can be the key to preventing heart disease and managing your risk factors. One of the best preventative measures is an annual heart health check-up.

These annual check-ups provide a baseline of your health and help compare against future visits.

Every New Year, and it’s the same promise to ourselves. Lose weight. Eat Healthier. Exercise. And even though most of us will fail to follow through on this resolution (just 8%, according to one finding, achieve their New Year’s Resolution), that failure is not because we don’t want to be healthier. More often, life just gets in the way.
February 15, 2017
After a long day at work, it’s easy to go home, kick off your shoes, and grab the remote. While this may help you unwind, it’s not doing any favors for your heart.

February 15, 2017
You’re sitting at your desk, and it’s getting close to lunchtime. You’ve got your brown bag lunch in the office fridge but aren’t particularly excited about it. Maybe it’s two day old meatloaf or turkey on a couple pieces of bread. When your co-workers stop by to say they’re headed out to the new burger place, you can’t resist. Eating out is not only tough on your wallet, it can be tougher on your heart.
February 14, 2017
You wake up early, start making breakfast and lunches so you can get the kids fed, dressed and to school on time. Follow that with eight, or more, hours at the office, sandwiched between hour-long commutes through jammed highways and interstates. Then you make a beeline home to get the kids to baseball practice and gymnastics, working on homework in the car. Once you finally make it home, there’s still dinner to be made, dishes to be cleaned and baths to be taken.

They work!

February 3, 2017
The number one killer of men and women in the U.S., you may think that gender doesn’t matter when it comes to heart disease. But it does. According to the American Heart Association, in the past 30 years, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. This could in part be due to the less obvious signs and symptoms women sometimes experience and the fact that only one in five women believe that heart disease is their greatest health threat.
February 3, 2017
We’ve all seen the movie where a heart attack occurs. A character is walking along when suddenly they grab their chest, wincing with pain. Immediately they tell the other characters, “Call 911! I’m having a heart attack!”
February 2, 2017
Did you know that by exercising as few as 30 minutes per day, you can improve your heart health and quality of life? And it doesn’t have to be hardcore, rigorous physical activity – the kind that leaves you drenched in sweat and sore for days. It can be simple, easy-to-incorporate activities like walking your dog, tossing a ball with your child, or dancing with friends.
