Today's Lexi: 

Καρδιά — Kardiá (Heart)    

In this episode: 

You are never too young or too old to implement a healthy lifestyle for one of the body’s most essential organs, the heart.  Did you know that the heart is the body’s engine room, responsible for pumping life-sustaining blood via a 60,000-mile-long network of vessels?  Remarkable!

Today, in recognition of HEART MONTH and your health and wellness, we have invited the well-respected cardiologist

Dr Karen Lambert, to discuss what you need to know to stay heart strong. 

Key takeaways today include awareness, prevention & symptoms.

Also, what does the heart look like and who is more at risk for heart disease men or women?

More important info to note:

• Smoking as few as 3 cigarettes a day increases your chance of a heart attack 2 to 3 times over a non-smoker
• Not exercising is almost as hard as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day
• You cannot change your parents or your age, but you can change your lifestyle- it’s possible
• 25% of woman in USA are completely sedentary- get walking
• Good fat vs bad fat- The Mediterranean diet can help
