Happy Valentine’s Day! The day of love is the perfect day to tell your loved ones how much you care about them. The clinic has been bustling today and yesterday with flower deliveries and it’s exciting to see others share their love for one another! Hearts are the main icon or image of Valentine’s day and it’s a good reminder to do some self-reflection on your own heart. Eating healthy and exercising are essential for promoting a healthy heart (see my tips on my previous post about heart healthy recommendations at https://s2sbrownclinic.com/2013/02/promoting-a-healthy-heart/ ). So in celebration of the day of love, we encourage you to take a little time for yourself and get a good workout in to keep your heart healthy. Instead of candy, have a piece of fruit…or if you must, have a smaller piece of candy or choose a healthier version such as dark chocolate. You could pair the two together and have dark chocolate covered strawberries…a real treat! Slowly working at achieving a healthier self will help you be around a lot longer to share your love with your family and friends!
