    Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? February, American Heart Month, is a reminder that everyday lifestyle choices such as nutrition, physical activity, and stress management can make a significant difference in preventing heart disease and other chronic conditions.

    When it comes to heart-healthy choices, nutrition can feel particularly overwhelming. The February Well Balanced newsletter from the Wellness Alliance helps guide us through the world of diets and trends, showing how to spot “fad” approaches and make nutrition choices that are balanced, realistic, and sustainable.

    If you’re ready to improve your nutrition and support heart health, try incorporating more foods from the heart-healthy food list found in the newsletter, or focus on other habits suggested, such as reading food labels or practicing portion control.
