SAN RAMON, Calif., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The heart is one of the most important muscles in the body. It keeps the blood pumping, delivering oxygen and nutrients that keep all other organs working. Because heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., it is essential for Americans to address their heart health every day. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company, offers several health and wellness benefits that help support its members' heart and overall health.
Several factors contribute to heart health, including blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking habits, diet, and exercise. Those factors are all connected, and doctors often prescribe an overall healthy lifestyle to keep the heart at its healthiest.
"Lifestyle changes are always hard, but for heart health, they are really important," said Jennifer Martinez. "Especially when it comes to food and fitness, it's hard to know exactly what we should be doing, but maybe knowing how important it is for heart health and a long life will be enough motivation to find out."
One of the most popular diets for heart health is the Mediterranean diet, which involves olive oil, fish, whole grains, and lots of fruits and veggies. Moreover, the Mediterranean diet pyramid includes a foundation of physical activity and guidance to eat mindfully, savoring the flavors and noticing when full. While this diet may not work for everyone, FEBC members can talk to nutritionists online at any time and get answers about what food changes may benefit their health and wellness.
The other component of a heart-healthy lifestyle is physical activity. Regular exercise will promote healthy weight, lower blood pressure, and healthier cholesterol levels, all of which reduce the risk of heart disease. However, exercise can be difficult for people worried about their heart health. Any new exercise routine should be discussed with a doctor before beginning. FEBC members have access to doctors online or by phone any time of day to discuss fitness or other lifestyle changes.
"A healthy heart is essential for a healthy life," said Martinez. "At FEBC, our benefits are meant to help our members in all parts of their life. We're hoping they can get the support they need to live a healthy lifestyle and keep their heart beating strong so they can live a long, fulfilling life with those they love."
