Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, but there are many ways to reduce your odds of developing cardiovascular illness. The Hopewell Township Health Department is reminding residents that heart health can be improved by increasing physical activity, adding nutritious foods to our diets, and reducing our stress levels with quality sleep.
The Health Department also offers free blood pressure screenings. Contact the Public Health Nurse at 609-537-0238 for more information and check out these resources from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for other ways to strengthen heart health! https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/education/heart-truth/lets-work-together-prevent-heart-disease
