Is your heart healthy? Talk with your doctor to see if you need cardiovascular disease screenings. Medicare Part B covers these tests if your doctor or other healthcare provider orders them.
Living a heart healthy lifestyle can help keep your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels normal — and lower your risk for heart disease and heart attack. If you’re not sure you’re at risk, now’s a good time to talk with your doctor.
Tips to show your heart some love:
- Stay active. If possible, aim for 150 minutes of movement each week. Walking is a great start! Check with your doctor about which activities are right for you.
- Get enough sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours a night. A good night’s rest can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Eat a heart-healthy diet. Choose lots of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains — and try to limit salt.
- Don‘t smoke. If you smoke, it’s never too late to quit.
