February is Healthy Heart Month!

According to the American Dietetic Association, a healthy heart is the result of good genes, physical activity, healthy food choices, and managing stress. A recent study linked a healthy heart with having a positive attitude in life.

People with a joyful, positive, and enthusiastic disposition—what psychologists call “positive affect”—are less likely than their gloomier peers to have a heart attack, a new study has found.

“This is the first study, to our knowledge, that has shown that clinically assessed positive emotions are protective of a first heart attack,” says the study’s lead author, Karina W. Davidson, PhD, the director of the Center for Behavioral Cardiovascular Health at Columbia University Medical Center, in New York City.

You can make sure that you and your loved ones get regular physical activity, make good food choices, deal with stress, and supplement with Bios Life Cardio Packs.
