Empower Yourself and Your Community:
Share Information on Heart Healthy Living
The new, easy-to-read, educational booklet On the Move
to Better Heart Health provides concise information on
heart disease and its risk factors from the most recent
clinical guidelines and recommendations. It has a new style
with more interactive text, culturally sensitive motivation,
and African American role models who offer personal and
positive viewpoints on making heart health a part of everyday
lifestyle. On the Move to Better Heart Health
replaces the older, 7-booklet set formerly known as
Improving Cardiovascular Health in African Americans.
It explains heart attack signs and how to respond to them,
as well as how to prevent and control high blood pressure and
diabetes, lower cholesterol, and manage weight. Includes
many action plans and check lists for adding heart healthy
habits to daily family life. A Heart Health Card
helps track progress.
Don’t miss section 7 which features ways take control of
your heart health and enjoy living smoke free starting on page
60.
