February marks American Heart Month Heart disease is the nation’s leading cause of death according to the American Heart Association. The ailment is also of particular concern because of its higher rate in Philadelphia and its disproportional diagnosis among African Americans.

Although most statistics may paint a grim picture, The West Philadelphia Senior Community Center (WPSCC) continues to provide support and resources for you to improve your health and wellbeing. Our new exercise room is perfect for those interested in strength training and cardio vascular exercise, and the Atrium provides a perfect layout for light walking and group exercise classes. No matter your skill or endurance level, our staff and trainers are ready to help you take the first steps with customized routines and inviting programs with friends.

Exercise is only half the battle. A balanced and nutritious diet is key to preventing a variety of medical conditions, including heart disease. We continue to work with outside organizations to offer cooking programs and educational sessions on healthy eating.

Here are some tips to reduce your risk of heart disease:• Choose healthy meals • Stay alert for warning signs • Be physically active • Visit a doctor and have regular tests • Watch your weight • Control your blood pressure

Throughout the month WPSCC will once again be participating in the Red Dress Campaign. Members can purchase pins in the shape of a Red Dress for $1.00. All proceeds from the dress sales are sent to the American Heart Association.

BOOSTER BENEFITS

MONTHLY TIP

February is American Heart Month• Choose a healthy eating plan. The food you eat can

decrease your risk of heart disease and stroke. Eat low in saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium. Try to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich whole grains, fish (preferably oily fish-at least twice per week), nuts, legumes and seeds and try eating some meals without meat.

• Be physically active. • Watch your weight. Your body needs fewer calories as

you get older. Excess weight causes your heart to work harder and increases the risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol

• It’s never too early or too late to learn the warning signs of a heart attack and stroke. Not everyone experiences sudden numbness with a stroke or severe chest pain with a heart attack. And heart attack symptoms in women can be different than men.
