In February, Dothan’s Flowers Hospital is challenging area residents to be heart conscious when it comes to heart disease.
Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 650,000 people each year.● In the U.S., one person dies every 34 seconds from cardiovascular disease.● Nearly half of American adults suffer from high blood pressure, or hypertension, which increases the risk of a heart attack and stroke. However, only about 1 in 4 people with high blood pressure have their condition under control.

This year, Flowers Hospital is taking February to help people in the community learn ways to reduce their risks with the 28-Day Healthy Heart Challenge. Participants will receive a daily email with short, informative articles, quick tips, and a daily challenge to promote heart health.
“At Flowers Hospital, we are committed to helping people live healthier and, for most of us, there’s no better place to start than taking better care of our hearts,” Flowers Hospital CEO Jeff Brannon said. “People who join us for this challenge will find the content takes only a couple of minutes to read each day. It is fun, sometimes surprising, always informative, and it can be life-saving. I hope everyone will sign up for the challenge and join us on a 28 day journey to a healthier heart.
The 28-Day Healthy Heart Challenge includes 28 challenges that can help participants eat healthier, get up from a sedentary lifestyle, relieve stress and lower blood pressure.Tags Get local news delivered to your inbox! Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter.
