Share a Heart Healthy Father’s Day
2008Let’s face it; we have a vested interest in helping
our dads live a long, healthy life. So skip giving dad a
neck tie this year. Celebrate this Father’s Day with
your dad, grandfather, uncle, or special man in your life by
sharing the heart healthy gifts below from the NHLBI.
And if you must give the obligatory tie, simply enhance your
gift with the following information too.

attack warning signs, steps to take if symptoms occur, and the
importance of acting quickly. Offers space to write in current
medications and key phone numbers as an easy reference for
both the patient and emergency care providers. Nice compact,

week reduces the risk of heart disease and can lower the
chances of having a stroke, colon cancer, high blood pressure,
and type 2 diabetes? This easy-to-read guide is a
wonderful tool to encourage dad to get 30 minutes of moderate
physical activity most days of the week. It can also
help him maintain a healthy weight.
Once you’ve given the men in your life this booklet that
helps develop a safe and effective activity program, the focus
turns to staying active. Refer them to pages 37-38 for making
physical activity an enjoyable, habitual part of life.
