Welcome to the Heart Health edition of the Carnival of Healthy Living. The Carnival of Healthy Living is a collection of recent blog posts on fitness, nutrition and health.
If you’re heart isn’t healthy it’s going to impact how the rest of your body works. That’s why the entire month of February is slated to put focus on the importance of heart health. I’ll share some information about this important topic along with some great articles from around the web in our favorite healthy living categories.
Diet & Nutrition
A low fat, whole foods diet (fruits, vegetable, grains) is important for a healthy heart. Limit saturated fats (from animal products), trans fat, added sugars, and sodium.

Fitness
Not moving is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease. Exercise can improve heart health and even sometimes reverse heart disease. A strong heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood through the body. Check with your physician before beginning a new exercise program.
