Heart health

A healthy heart is essential to living a full life.  In the wake of Valentine's Day, remember to nurture heart health; this may prevent stroke, heart disease, and dementia.  Titles available at the St. Louis Public Library include:

  • Mayo Clinic wellness solutions for heart health [videorecording]
  • The heart health bible: the five-step plan to prevent and reverse heart disease by John M. Kennedy, M.D.
  • Best practices for a healthy heart: how to stop heart disease before or after it starts by Sarah Samaan

Million Hearts® and The Heart Truth® have helpful information for keeping your heart (as well as other parts) healthy, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has an animation showing how the heart pumps blood and a brief explanation of how the heart works in the body.

As American Heart Month draws to a close, these sources of information can support you in keeping your heart going strong all year long.
