It’s [happy] Heart Health Month! Do these 5 things to show some love to your heart:

1. Eat more fiber. The American Heart Association recommends getting 25–30 grams of fiber per day from food, but most of us fall short. Heart health high-fiber foods include beans, lentils, oats, seeds, apples, pears, peas, squash and sweet potatoes.

2. It’s time to kick sugar to the curb. You should only consume 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men. However, the average adult has about 22 teaspoons of added sugar per day. Yikes!

3. Speaking of sugar – artificial sweeteners are no better. A 2022 British Medical Journal study that followed 103,388 French adults found that artificial sweetener intake was associated with negative impacts for heart health.

4. Maintain, or get to, a health weight. This looks like exercising more, cutting back on calories and losing weight to help promote healthy, normal triglyceride levels. Choose foods that support healthy, normal cholesterol levels, like fermented foods, vegetables, nuts, seeds, garlic and sweet potatoes.

5. No more alcohol. Sorry, not sorry. Excessive alcohol intake is closely associated with negative triglycerides and heart health issues. If you are going to drink, make it one glass on special occasions. And choose red wine, which has antioxidants that may help the heart.

“I was in need of doctor visit and my regular doctor office could not see me for almost 2 1/2 weeks. I was absolutely in agony and very disappointed. I remember seeing Heavens Urgent Care right down the street. So I called to get information about insurance and wait time. The staff was very helpful and informed me I could come in right away. The wait time was less than 30 minutes. I was greeted warmly and taken care of in a quick manner. Highly recommend.” – Denise Auborn

NEW MEDICAL ARTICLE: 2026 Fitness Goals that Actually Fit Real Life (Especially for Women 45+)

You started your 2026 fitness resolutions right on schedule. That’s right, you started strong and now it’s quietly fading away. Guess what? If you’re a women age 45-plus, you are not alone.

From a medical perspective, the problem is rarely motivation. The challenge usually comes down to the goal design. Many resolutions fail because they are too big, too vague, or built on avoidance.

Goals framed as stop eating this, never miss that, or lose a certain number fast… tend to collapse the moment real life shows up. Research also suggests that follow through improves when goals are approach oriented, supported, and paired with a clear plan for the moments when willpower is low.

Now is the perfect time to try a different kind of fitness goal. One that supports your body, your mood, your relationships, and your long-term health without considering the overused “new year, new you” hype.

Below are doable fitness goals that feel fresh, work well for women 45+, and still count even on busy weeks. Keep reading below!

It’s 2026 and you have no idea how you’re going to reach your fitness goals. Start with goals that really work and fit a real life.

Being a caregiver is no easy feat. In fact, 47% of family caregivers in the U.S. reported anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges in the last year.

Dementia care alone accounts for nearly 40 percent of unpaid caregiver support.
The statistics are brutal. These are real people trying to manage households, careers, and relationships while caring for someone who can no longer fully care for themselves.

If you’re a caregiver, make certain that you are getting support and enough respite care.

It’s National Blood Donor Month. Millions of people including cancer patients, organ recipients, and victims of accidents; rely on blood donations from people like you and me.

Sadly, increased seasonal illnesses during the winter months and the holidays means that donations of blood and platelets decline, as demand increases. Please consider donating today!

Cheers to health, wellness, and welcoming in another new year!
