You have probably heard that phrase applied to quite a number of things such as 'growing older; 'telling the truth', 'parenting teenagers' or even just 'life'. We believe it also applies to your health. Taking responsibility and making the choices that support your health is not for the faint of heart! It often means acting differently than those around you, choosing to exercise instead of binge Netflix, making a meal at home instead of eating out, going to bed on time and being disciplined enough to say no to unhealthy habits. While taking good care of yourself does require some bravery and discipline, it is absolutely essential to ensure you aren't physically 'faint of heart'. It goes without saying that your heart is one of your most critical organs. Even with how essential it is to your survival, you shouldn't be aware of your heart. It should do its job 24/7 without complaining to you about anything - no fluttering, no pain, and no racing. You shouldn't even hear it beating when you lay down to sleep at night. Your heart needs to be disciplined about knowing when to take a break. It should actually be at rest 2/3 of the time. Even with all that laying around, your heart still finds time to beat about 100,000 times per day! The heart really is an amazing organ and we see with our heart scans how each person has a 'heart print' that is unique to them. Even with a unique rate, rhythm and tone, we often see opportunity for improvement in the functioning of the heart for most people. Regardless of whether or not you have heart concerns or are taking medications for heart issues, a scan will reveal areas for improvement. Using an advanced heart scanning device called the Heart Sound Recorder, a graph is made of each valve of your heart. The rate, rhythm and tone is then evaluated to determine overall functioning of your heart. Recommendations are made to improve your heart health and graphs can be re-run over time to ensure progress toward your goals. There is a lot that you can do to slow the progression of heart issues or reverse trends all together. It is vital that your heart has the proper nutritional balance in order to keep a healthy rate, rhythm and tone. To help support your heart nutritionally, we have a number of heart supplements available. Come in for a heart scan and learn which ones may be best for you. Your heart is doing it's best to take care of you and deserves a brave champion taking care of it, in return!
