❤️ Wednesday Heart Tip ❤️
“Sit less, move more.”
Too much sitting can raise your risk of high blood pressure, weight gain, and heart disease.

👉 Every hour, stand up and move for just 5 minutes — stretch, walk, or take the stairs.
These little bursts of activity improve circulation, lower stress, and keep your heart stronger.

✨ Small changes done daily = big protection for your heart.

💬 What’s one way you can add more movement to your day today?

🌿 Tuesday Heart Tip 🌿

Stay hydrated! Drinking enough water helps your heart pump blood more easily and keeps your blood pressure stable. Aim for 6–8 glasses of water a day, and choose water over sugary drinks whenever possible.

¡Mantente hidratado! Tomar suficiente agua ayuda a que tu corazón bombee sangre con más facilidad y mantiene la presión arterial estable. Intenta beber 6–8 vasos de agua al día, y elige agua en lugar de refrescos azucarados siempre que sea posible.

🌙 Sunday Night Heart Tip 🌙
As you prepare for a new week, don’t forget your heart deserves rest too.

🛌 Tip of the Night: Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep.
Poor sleep is linked to high blood pressure, weight gain, and increased risk of heart disease. A simple routine like turning off screens 30 minutes before bed, sipping a calming tea, or practicing deep breathing can help your heart recover overnight.

✨ A rested heart is a stronger heart. Protect your health while you sleep.

💙 Friday Heart Tip 💙
Your heart works 24/7 — give it a little care today!

👉 Tip of the Day: Take a 10–15 minute walk after your biggest meal.
Walking after eating helps lower blood sugar, improve digestion, and keep your heart strong. Over time, this small habit can reduce your risk of heart disease and support healthy weight management.

✨ Remember: Consistency matters more than intensity. Even a short daily walk adds up to better heart health.
