Tahoe Forest Health System Aims to Support and Improve the Hearts of Our Community During Heart Health Monthwww.tfhd.com

(Tahoe/Truckee, Calif.) –  February is Heart Health Month, and Tahoe Forest Health System and the Wellness Neighborhood are focusing on helping our community understand the threat of heart disease and the importance of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The good news is that a heart-healthy lifestyle can help prevent cardiovascular disease and improve heart health, even if a person has been diagnosed with a heart or vascular condition. Through a balanced diet and regular exercise, many forms of this disease can be prevented.
 
During the month of February, join Tahoe Forest Health System in their Follow Your Heart: Passport to Health Challenge. Explore a variety of activities and learning opportunities to support your heart health. Complete at least two of the activities below for a chance to win a Therapeutic Massage or Biofeedback session.
