Women’s Heart Month: Why a dedicated month?

Why dedicate an entire month to women’s heart health? The answer lies in the need for awareness and education. Despite the prevalence of heart disease among women, there exists a significant gap in knowledge and understanding. Women’s Heart Month serves as a platform to bridge this gap, empowering women with information to make informed choices about their cardiovascular well-being. We hope by providing you with the below information, you’re able to understand more about your current heart health and how to improve it.

Recognizing you may have a problem is crucial. So take some time to reflect on these 5 early signs of heart complications:

1. Chest Discomfort or Pain:
   • Unexplained pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest should not be ignored and requires immediate attention.
2. Shortness of Breath:
   • Unexpected shortness of breath, especially during routine activities, could signal compromised heart function.
3. Fatigue:
   • Persistent, unexplained fatigue, particularly if unrelated to physical or mental exertion, may be indicative of underlying heart issues.
4. Pain or Discomfort in Other Areas:
   • Women may experience pain or discomfort in the neck, jaw, upper abdomen, back, or arms, signaling potential heart concerns.
5. Nausea or Indigestion:
   • Unrelieved nausea, indigestion, or stomach discomfort, especially when not responsive to typical remedies, should be taken seriously.

It’s always important to pay attention to how you feel. Be cognizant of your body and how you feel. If it helps, you can write down any kind of health related problems you have, say in a days time, and then bring them to your doctor or health professional. They’ll be able to help you access if you actually have a problem or not and how it should be addressed.

Embracing a heart-healthy lifestyle

In the pursuit of complete health, some foundational practices stand out as pillars of support to help you improve your heart health. Let’s explore the many ways you can nourish your heart and soul, placing emphasis on three key elements.

Hydration.

Adequate hydration supports overall health and can benefit the heart. Here’s some advise for hydrating properly:

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day. “Well duh..” – But if you notice yourself being lightheaded, or dizzy at certain points in the day, you might not be getting enough water into your body. You can make it a goal to refill a your water bottle however many times a day based on the size of your water bottle. Research recommends getting nearly a gallon of water into your body everyday for men, and nearly 3/4’s of a gallon for women. Set a goal and try to get more water into your body each day!
• Limit intake of sugary beverages and excessive caffeine. This can be hard, especially in a world where caffeine seems to be in everything these days. Personally, I try to use products like Liquid I.V to my water to make it taste more “interesting”. This also helps me get other essential vitamins and nutrients into my body while being free from additives like sugars and caffeine.
• Include hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables in the diet. Did you know if you’re eating a balanced diet, you’re already getting somewhere around 20% off your daily water intake, according to the Mayo Clinic? So make sure to include hydrating food like cucumbers, spinach, strawberries, or watermelon that are more than 90% water!

Regular Exercise Routine.

Physical activity is key to heart health and overall wellbeing!

For women, it’s recommend to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week. You can go to the gym, but you may find more interest in other activities like going for a brisk walk, swimming, or body-weight activities like yoga and other cardio. Don’t overthink it. Give some of these a try and find one you actually enjoy. This will make your daily exercise more enjoyable and you might even find yourself trying to do more each day.

Stress Management Techniques.

Chronic stress can negatively impact heart health. Here are some ways you can work on managing your stress in a healthy way:

• Practice mindfulness through meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
• Schedule regular breaks and downtime to recharge.
• Engage in hobbies and activities that bring joy and relaxation.
• Foster positive social connections for emotional support.

Obviously, there is so many other things that can directly and indirectly affect your heart health, but hopefully these give you a good starting point!
