Supporting your heart doesn't require extreme workouts or hours at the gym. Everyday activities like gardening, carrying groceries, cleaning, lifting, or walking the dog all contribute to heart health and overall fitness.
The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week. Regular movement can help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
The key is consistency: find activities you enjoy and make movement part of your routine.
