Keeping up a do-able healthy diet and exercise is the key to a healthy heart. Also, keeping the stress to a minimum is essential.

So, my philosophy is that crochet is one of the most enjoyable ways to keep a healthy heart. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I work for cardiologists and we all walk at lunch around our complex, regardless of the cold, and believe me it has been very cold in Buffalo, NY, this winter. I take stretching breaks throughout the day to alievate stress, cramped shoulders and back aches. I eat healthy, soup or salads for lunch and snacks are nuts or fresh fruit and veggies. But most important is sharing a smile with each and every patient letting that person know at that moment he/she is most important and worthy of all of my attention! We all need to feel that way once a day. And how do I unwind at the end of the day, with my crochet hook a ball of yarn and a good pattern. I would love to win this Red yarn to crochet up little hearts to give to patients that come in scared and worried about theiir testing or those knowing they need surgery. Just a little heart to show we care at our office!

Quit smoking 21 yrs. ago, now trying to eat healthier & cutting down on caffeine. Hoping to get more walking in once the weather warms up!
Healthy diet and low stress.
I eat very low in fat, fat free dairy products, lean cuts of beef rarely, boneless skinless chicken or turkey breast, and fish. Lots of veggies-I roast them or steam them and lots of fresh fruit. Snacks are thoughtful not just grab and run. And my carbs are complex carbs-simple carbs are kept to a minimum., I find I feel better that way. And sodium – since I cook as much from scratch as possible, it’s the only way I can control that too. I try to keep my weight as close to my ideal body weight as possible and I walk, treadmill in the winter, and do yoga which greatly helps with stress management. And I knit. I find it very soothing and calming.

Our hearts are amazing organs they pump life sustaining blood throughout our bodies, regardless of our body size. They work hard and tirelessly for decades, years, months, days, hours and sometimes just minutes. Only God could create such an entity. It reflects our anxiety, sadness, fear, love and joy! Thank you God for giving each of us a HEART!! 🙂

And for me, crochet is another way to unwind and de-stress (keeps my blood pressure low and that makes my heart happy and healthy.

I eat a variety of whole grains (love brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc.), vegetables and other “good for you foods” (I’m a vegetarian). I also have my comfort foods (such as dark chocolate!) and enjoy them in a sensible way so that I can continue to enjoy them without stressing about fat content, calories, etc.). My favorite “exercise” is walking outdoors.
I like to stay active! Signing up for races and training for them is my favorite. 🙂
