There is a misconception that most women are more likely to die of breast cancer as apposed to experiencing a heart attack or a stroke. However, this is not true. Heart disease and disease in the blood vessels are known to claim twice as many lives compared to cancer of all kinds in women. If you love yourself and you family, you need to take good care of your heart and yourself.

Love Yourself
When you feel good about yourself, you will automatically make an effort to stay healthy. Poor self-esteem may be one of the leading causes why women pay poor attention to their cardio vascular health. Paying attention to yourself and your heart is extremely important, because others depend on you and love you and after all life is indeed beautiful.

Relaxation
Stress is a silent killer. It is known to harm the heart directly and indirectly as well. When you are stressed, you want to sleep, or you can’t sleep, you tend to overeat or you may not eat at all, you get depressed and you spend all your time at home in an anxious state with no physical exercise. Take a few hours off and for yourself. Meditate, go for a quiet walk or just close your eyes and sit in a quiet room for about twenty minutes. The time you spent meditating will indeed do you some good and avoid stress.

Family
Propagate good heart health. When you believe in the importance of heart health and educate your children and grand children about it, it prevents future generations of your family to stay heart healthy too. Avoid smoking, drinking and eat food that is good for the heart. Get plenty of exercise, avoid stress and stay happy.

By involving your children in food preparation and teaching them how to identify good food from bad can help you keep yourself and your family healthy for long.
