RaeAnn Tucker joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about increasing flu infection rates and heart health during Heart Awareness Month. This February, the spotlight is on cardiovascular health as American Heart Month unfolds. The Henry & Stark County Health Department, alongside First Choice Healthcare Clinics, emphasizes the importance of taking proactive measures against heart disease, the top cause of mortality in the United States. Essential actions include routine health checkups, vigilant monitoring of blood pressure and cholesterol, and embracing a diet abundant in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat options. Engaging in regular exercise, quitting smoking, moderating alcohol intake, and managing diabetes is pivotal in preventing this pervasive health issue.
