I chose Heart Choices as the name of my blog many years ago. I was working as a cardiac nurse. Initially I planned to conduct workshops for heart patients to teach them how to make healthier heart choices.
When blogging became an option for me, I began to write about making heart choices. And it has evolved into heart choices for body, mind and most importantly ...spirit.
I still feel strongly about getting serious about heart health. I've seen too many people impacted by heart disease. The lifestyle we choose to live can greatly impact our risk for heart disease.
I've heard too many people say they want to enjoy life and if they die of a heart attack ...so be it.
They think it's a good way to go. They think it's a quick way to die.
Well, I have news for you!
Yes, many people die suddenly and quickly from a heart attack. But many others survive and become dependent on others. I've seen previously healthy people suddenly have to deal with home health nurses, oxygen, walkers. You get the picture. And it's not pretty!
I've said it before. But I'll say it again.
I've seen life from the spectrum of the elderly and now more recently with young children.
Research has given us much information to help us live a healthier life.
Choose healthy habits no matter what your age.
It's never too late.
One step at a time. One day at a time.
Maybe today is the day you take a walk.
Maybe today is the day you choose to eat an apple instead of the bag of chips.
It's a life long process.
Let's begin to make heart choices not hard choices.
What will you do today that is a healthier choice?
Blessings and love,
