Be Well
Stress leads to unhealthy habits like overeating, physical inactivity, smoking, and risk factors for heart disease and stroke like high blood pressure, and depression or anxiety. On the flip side, managing and reducing stress can improve feelings of happiness, purpose and gratitude, all of which can keep hearts and minds healthier, and make it more likely for people to stick with healthy habits.

Move More
Physical activity is linked to lower risk of diseases, stronger bones and muscles, improved mental health and cognitive function and lower risk of depression. Staying active is one of the best ways to keep your body and mind healthy during this time. Not only can it help you feel, think, sleep and live better, it improves overall quality of life.
Making Habits Stick
Anybody can build healthy habits; they just need to know how to do it effectively.
See All: Making Habits Stick Change Is a Mindset
A simpler, easier approach to translate goals into habits is to build better health one habit at a time.

Cardiovascular Conditions
What is cardiovascular disease? Cardiovascular disease can refer to a number of conditions. How much do you really know about your heart’s health? It’s easy to be fooled by misconceptions. After all, heart disease only happens to your elderly neighbor or to your fried food-loving uncle, right? Or do you know the real truth – that heart disease can affect people of any age, even those who eat right? Relying on false assumptions can be dangerous to your heart. Cardiovascular disease kills more Americans each year than any other disease.
