The Big 95.7 WKML And Scotland Memorial Protect Our Health

The Big 95.7 WKML knows self-care for your heart is also self-care for your whole body.

We improve and protect our overall health with these few steps.

Make doctor's appointments--many providers now offer telehealth appointments so we can stop putting off scheduling them and attend appointments between busy schedules.

Make time for physical activity. Get a daily dose of physical activity, such as a brisk, 30-minute walk. Go for a bike ride, take an online exercise class, or have a family dance party. Or even manage stress through meditation, yoga, a warm bath, or quiet time with a good book or a funny movie.

Plus, don't forget the importance of cooking delicious, heart-healthy recipes. Choose some from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's delicious heart-healthy eating website and cook meals that are low in sodium and unhealthy fats. Have snacks like fruits and veggies ready to grab when hunger hits.

After a well-rounded day, making sure to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night can help in the long run. Click HERE to visit Scotland Memorial's website to learn more tips about self-care.
