❤️FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEALTH MONTH!❤️
How can you keep your heart healthy?
Ni****ne and to***co impact your heart.
•According to the American Heart Association ni****ne is a highly addictive chemical that can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and narrow arteries. All of which increase the risk of heart disease and heart attack.
• The CDC reports that smoking is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and is responsible for an estimated 1 in every 4 deaths from heart disease. Smoking also contributes to plaque buildup and artery narrowing, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and other serious conditions.
💗What This Means for You:
Ni****ne isn’t just addictive; it also strains the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk for heart disease, stroke, and related health problems.
🫀This American Heart Month, take a moment to think about your heart, and if you use to***co or ni****ne products, think about the benefits of quitting. Your heart will thank you! ❤️
