A healthy heart keeps you strong!
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. You can lessen your risk of heart disease through lifestyle changes and in some cases, medication. Learn what you can do to lower your risk and manage conditions that lead to heart disease.
7 strategies to live a heart healthy lifestyle:
1. Learn your health history.
o Know your risks and talk to your doctor about your family medical history.
2. Eat a healthy diet.
o Add more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products to your daily meals. The American Heart Association approves of the Plate Method.
3. Choose drinks wisely. Substitute water for sugary drinks to reduce calories.
4. QUIT Smoking.
5. Take Medicine as directed.
6. Move more, sit less.
o Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intense aerobic activity every week, PLUS muscle-strengthening activities at least 2x a week.
7. Monitor your Blood Pressure at home.
o Have a self-measured blood pressure monitor at home and write down your blood pressure readings to discuss them with your doctor.

Public parking available.
Clues: Bring your own ink, please be discreet and re-hide the box well.
Travel along Pent Road towards Pent Recreational Park. At the park entrance will be a fork - make a slight right to continue down the hill, towards the baseball fields. Begin facing the baseball field directly across from where you drove in. Walk to a paved path that begins behind this field's home base. Continue along the path, rounding a second baseball field. As you approach the third field, make a slight left at the big, out of place pine tree. Continue along the same path, noticing a green bench to your right up ahead. As you approach the bench, you'll find a three-sister tree with her two front stumps cut. This tree will be on your left, with the letterbox inside!
