Check Your Heart Health and Identify If You Need to Reduce Your Risk for Heart Disease or Not
No one likes to talk about about Body Fat. But unfortunately it can be a predictor of Cardiovascular health and risks. Yes, I know genetics can also play a role with family histories of cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol as well as the increased incidence of heart disease in Afro-Americans, especially males. Regardless of your ethnicity, try this private and free BMI-Body Mass Index; a measurement of your estimated body fat based on YOUR height and weight. The higher your BMI =THE HIGHER YOUR RISK for Heart Disease. Then add in possible other comorbidities/health problems like diabetes, smoking, sleep apnea, high alcohol intake, high blood pressure and that is much extra work on not only your heart but your blood vessels and arteries putting you at higher risk for stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. A recipe for a possible disaster in life. This information is not to beat you up but to wake you up about your body, your health, your future and hopefully if your BMI is high, help you to be motivated to make some lifestyle changes for a hopefully healthier and longer life. If you are not motivated, hopefully you have a special partner that loves you enough to want to increase your longevity and can hopefully help motivate you both to get moving, be healthier and live your BEST lives yet. Working out with a loved one can be absolutely amazing; even if just holding hands and walking together.
