Optimized Movement

February is not only the month to celebrate love but it is the perfect time to learn about your heart health!

Nearly 50% of all Americans have at least one risk factor for heart disease...

Making small changes to your daily life can improve your health and lower your risk of heart disease such as prioritizing physical activity and incorporating heart-healthy foods.

Did you know that studies show that the antioxidants in red wine and dark chocolate (when consumed in moderation) can be beneficial for your heart?! Red wine has been found to contain antioxidants and resveratrol which may help lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots while dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) contains polyphenols that may help to reduce blood pressure and inflammation.

This makes Valentine's Day a great time to start thinking about your heart health! 🖤

Optimized Movement can help you formulate a specific program to prioritize your health and live an active life!
