WEBWIRE

Atlanta, GA – February is Heart Health Month. Highlighting the importance of heart health has been a major area of concern for Larry King, Jr. His father, CNN’s Larry King, has had multiple heart attacks, which lead to formation of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation in which Larry Jr. is the president. Here, Larry highlights tips that can help improve your heart health and possibly prevent illness.

The average American spends 16 hours a day indoors at home breathing indoor air. Fine particles enter your home through doors, windows, or small openings in frames, walls and roofs. These fine particles originate from various sources outside including fossil fuel burning in vehicles, power and manufacturing plants, and fires. The Environmental Protection Agency, American Lung Association and the American Heart Association all agree that exposure to airborne fine particles impairs breathing increasing the risk of asthma attack, stroke, heart attack and other serious illnesses. Installing a whole-house air cleaner can help remove those fine particles from the filtered air. Whole-house air cleaners such as Trane CleanEffectsTM can remove up to 99.98 percent of allergens and fine particles from the filtered air. For more information visit www.trane.com.

According to the American Heart Association about 73 million people in the United States age 20 and older have high blood pressure. One of the most important things you can do to help detect high blood pressure, a key risk predictor of attack and stroke, is to monitor your blood pressure at home. Using a clinically validated monitor that gives accurate results is vital. The Omron BP710 monitor is clinically validated, easy to use with just one touch, provides accurate readings and is affordable at less than $50. For more information visit www.omronhealthcare.com

Eating healthy is vital to promoting heart health, and it’s easy when you make smart, simple substitutions, like choosing soft spread margarine over butter. Made from healthy plant oils instead of animal fat, soft spread margarines are recommended by the American Heart Association. Following a heart healthy diet can also encourage a healthy weight and reduce chances of obesity, a major risk factor for heart disease, For more heart healthy tips visit www.familyatheart.org.
