Choosing to live a healthy lifestyle may not always be easy, but there is no doubt that it has a positive effect on our quality of life. How we feel and sleep can change depending on how we take care of ourselves. During the month of February we ran our Heart Healthy challenge to help bring awareness to heart disease. We encouraged individuals to take a Heart Healthy Pledge and share what they do to help keep their heart healthy for a chance to win a fitness inspired prize pack.
While those who have a family history of heart disease are at a greater risk, heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Eating heart-healthy foods and staying active are two great examples of things you can do to reduce your risk. Whether it was taking more walks or to finally quit smoking, it was great to see so many individuals take control of their health.
Thank you to all who participated!
Congratulations to our winners Christopher Breen, David Messina, Penny Lyman, Tim Treanor and Rocco Malaspina!
