❤️ February is American Heart Month! ❤️

A healthy heart is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves — and the people we love. This month is a reminder to slow down, check in with our health, and make choices that keep our hearts strong.

Small steps make a big difference:
• Add a few extra minutes of movement to your day
• Choose heart-healthy meals when you can
• Schedule that check-up you’ve been putting off
• Reach out to someone who might need encouragement

Let’s use this month to raise awareness, support one another, and build habits that last long after February ends. Your heart works hard for you every day — show it some love today.
