It's not new that your diet has an impact on your heart health. To keep heart smart, focus on eating foods that are low in saturated and trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium. These things are fine in moderation, just not on an every day basis.

Try adding more colour to your plate with different fruits, vegetables, and proteins like chicken and fish. 🥕🥦🫐

Stop by and ask our pharmacists for more tips on eating smart for heart health!

What is a heart attack? ❤️‍🩹

As described by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI), happens when blood flow to a section of the heart becomes blocked and the heart muscle can't get oxygen. If the blood flow isn't restored quickly, that section of the heart can begin to die.

February is Heart Month ❤️

Heart Month is a time to raise awareness about the importance of cardiovascular health and an opportunity to focus on what we can do to improve our heart health.

Two years ago, for Heart Month, our good friend Amanda Thomas-Saunders guided us through a series of heart-healthy facts and educational tips surrounding the importance of heart health. We truly appreciate her sharing her first-hand knowledge and experience with us. 🩺💕

Amanda was a strong advocate of heart health in our community and we want to dedicate this month to her by continuing the conversation within our community on the importance of heart health.

Remember - Do your part... care for your heart! ❤️
