February is American Heart Month, and a healthy heart is important to living a healthy and fulfilling life. Every year hundreds of thousands of people die from heart disease, many of which are easily preventable. With the right knowledge, you can avoid becoming a statistic.
There are many ways to prevent heart disease, such as eating a good healthy diet, but one of the easier ways to maintain a healthy heart is to get moving and exercise! Establish a routine and with activities like biking, something that the whole family can participate in and stay healthy together. Biking can get your heart pumping in minutes with minimal impact on your joints.
Biking also strengthens your heart muscles and can lower blood fat levels and resting pulse, which helps to have a more efficient heart function further reducing the risk of cardiac events like heart attack.
