Heart Health Month: February at Aneres Health and Wellness
Heart Health Month serves as a powerful reminder to prioritize cardiovascular wellness, with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign highlighting the unique risks women face regarding cardiovascular disease. This national observance encourages individuals to take control of their health through awareness, prevention, and sustainable wellness practices.
The Importance of Cardiovascular Wellness
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, impacting millions each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023). However, many heart-related conditions can be managed or prevented with the right approach. Aneres Health and Wellness is dedicated to helping individuals in Mont Belvieu achieve long-term wellness through comprehensive primary care and innovative wellness solutions.
Why Annual Checkups Are Essential
Routine checkups are a cornerstone of managing cardiovascular health, offering the chance to address key health indicators:
- Blood Pressure: Hypertension, often called the silent killer, can lead to severe complications like heart attacks and strokes if not controlled.
- Cholesterol Levels: Managing cholesterol is crucial to preventing plaque buildup in arteries, which can restrict blood flow.
- Weight and Body Mass Index (BMI): Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the strain on the heart and decreases the likelihood of developing chronic conditions.
- Blood Sugar: Diabetes care and management involve monitoring and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular medical support to prevent complications.
Through early detection and intervention, potential issues can be addressed before they escalate. At Aneres Health and Wellness, we craft personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Go Red for Women: Empowering Women to Take Action
Women often experience different symptoms of heart disease compared to men, such as jaw pain, extreme fatigue, and nausea. Additionally, hormonal shifts during menopause and conditions like preeclampsia can elevate cardiovascular risks. The Go Red for Women campaign inspires women to take charge of their health by prioritizing annual checkups, staying informed, and making lifestyle changes.
