HEALTH BENEFIT PROGRAM NEWS!

Bump-thump. Bump-thump. Bump-thump.

This could be the rhythm of your healthy heart., or.....OR....it could be someone knockin' at your virtual door to remind you that February's monthly health topic is here. It's at least one, and hopefully both. Regardless, now is the perfect time to share the right note of inspiration to help keep people's tickers thumping to the right beat.

The February topic focuses on keeping our ticker on pace for a good and healthy life. Your heart is a muscle that acts like a pump to circulate oxygen and nutrients in your blood to the rest of your body. Like other muscles, it needs oxygen and nutrients, too. But when the arteries in your heart become diseased, the heart can't get the blood it needs to pump efficiently. You can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease or slow its progress by taking prevention to heart. Making small, gradual changes can make a big difference in your health.
