What are you doing for your heart? How can PowerLung help you?

No matter what we are doing for our heart health there always seems to be something new. What is new is that at least in America we are taking our eating more seriously and have even begun to lose weight on a national level. Underlying all the new information are some basics that never seem to change:

Manage stress
Stop smoking
Start exercising
Watch what you eat

It’s easy enough to make this list and it seems much harder for us to actually make a change. A young lady we recently met was describing her plans to change her "eating lifestyle" at the end of her description the young lady’s friend said "I can change anything but my lifestyle." Changing something basic typically does not require a lot of money but does require each of us to commit to change our behavior and therefore our lifestyle.

This month we want to talk about just one aspect of heart health: managing stress. Specifically how to use PowerLung to change or avoid using negative stress management behaviors. As you will see, if you are not managing stress you may develop or reinforce habits that are unhealthy for your heart health. Or, as important, have a friend or loved one who is.

We will focus on some common unhealthy ways people manage stress and how other users have used PowerLung to change their behavior and lifestyle to exclude these behaviors.
