  Many families today want to eat better but feel confused about where to begin. One big topic is saturated fats, which are found in butter, fatty meats, and many packaged snacks. Major groups like the  World Health Organization  and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans say these fats should stay under 10 percent of daily calories. The American Heart Association suggests even less, under 6 percent, for better results. A 2022 report showed many adults still eat about 13.9 percent, which is higher than advised. Health experts say this matters for heart health, because eating too much can raise cholesterol and slowly increase the risk of serious problems. Research also shows that lowering intake for at least two years can cut the risk of  heart attacks  and strokes by about 21 percent. Replacing these fats with better options from plants and fish works best. This is why healthy eating is now a strong focus as we move closer to 2026. People are more curious, more ca...

  Salt makes food taste better, but too much of it can harm your body. Most people don’t realize how much salt they eat every day. Salt reduction is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your heart. When you reduce salt, your  blood pressure  stays balanced, your heart works better, and your overall energy improves. A few small changes in your eating habits can make a big difference in your long-term heart health. Many people think only those with  high blood pressure  need to care about salt, but everyone benefits from sodium control. Your body does need some sodium to stay healthy, but the problem begins when daily sodium levels go beyond what the body can handle. This leads to swelling, fatigue, and heart strain over time. Why Salt Affects Heart Health So Much Salt, or sodium chloride, affects how your body balances water. When you eat too much salt, your body holds on to extra water to dilute the sodium. This extra fluid puts pressure on your...

Heart disease continues to be one of the biggest challenges for the people of Philadelphia. No matter the age group, background, or neighborhood, families from every corner of the city have felt its impact. Philadelphia faces particular struggles in areas where access to quality doctors, heart care, and cardiac health screenings is limited. These differences, known as health disparities, make heart health problems much worse for some groups. You may ask: Why do some people get sick more than others, or why do some neighborhoods have better health than others? The reason is not just about eating or exercising. Heart disease and cardiovascular disease affect people’s lives because of social, economic, and community health issues. Some families lack sufficient income or health insurance; others live far from hospitals or face challenges in accessing public health services. In Philadelphia, these problems are very real. The Numbers Speak: Heart Disease in Philadelphia Did you know that ...

  Think about the last time you felt your heart racing at work. Was it from climbing stairs, or was it stress? The truth is, many of us ignore the warning signs our bodies send us every single day. We push through chest tightness, brush off fatigue, and tell ourselves we’ll deal with it later. But when it comes to  heart health , later might be too late. Companies everywhere are starting to wake up to a simple fact: healthy employees are happy employees. And happy employees build stronger businesses. This isn’t just about offering gym memberships or salad bars in the cafeteria anymore. It’s about understanding that the heart of your company literally depends on the hearts of your people. The Silent Crisis Happening in Cubicles and Conference Rooms Heart disease  remains one of the biggest killers around the world. Yet we treat it like something that only happens to other people. The reality is much scarier. Every day, people show up to work with high blood pressure, high ...

  Imagine if your heart could heal itself after damage. For many years, doctors believed that once the heart was injured, it would stay that way forever. But today, something amazing is happening in the world of medicine. Scientists and doctors are finding ways to help hearts repair themselves. This exciting field is called regenerative cardiology , and it is changing everything we know about heart care. What Makes Regenerative Cardiology So Special? Regenerative cardiology is not like regular heart treatment. Instead of just managing symptoms or replacing damaged parts with surgery, this new approach actually helps the heart rebuild itself. Think of it like teaching your heart to grow new, healthy tissue. This is possible because of incredible advances in cardiac research that have happened over the last few years. When someone has a heart attack or suffers from heart disease, part of their heart muscle gets damaged. The old way of thinking was that this damage was permanent. But...
