8 Start with the heart. The most important part of the body, the heart is the center of your entire circulatory system, helping breath life into your lungs and powering your muscles. At Leapfrog and the South Carolina Business Coalition on Health, we view personal health as a similar catalyst for our state. By empowering South Carolina s businesses, organizations and individuals to make smart lifestyle choices, we can improve the health, wealth and well being of our state. If you re looking to improve your overall health, the heart is a great place to begin. By practicing mindful eating habits, reducing stress, minimizing harmful habits, and getting regular exercise, you can improve your cardiovascular strength. From hiking at Table Rock to sea kayaking at Edisto Island, South Carolina offers a host of options for exercise. In addition, our temperate climate is perfect for tending gardens, strolling through one of our many state parks, or visiting a local farmer s market. It s this perfect environment that makes South Carolina a perfect place for improving your heart health and quality of living. All it takes is you to start. Keep these ABCs of heart health in mind every day -- and especially when you talk to your health care professional: Appropriate Aspirin Therapy (for those who need it) Blood Pressure Control Cholesterol Management Smoking Cessation The foods you eat have a big impact on your heart health. When planning your meals and snacks, try to: Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Check the labels on your food and select those with the lowest sodium. Limit foods with high amounts of saturated fat, transfat, and cholesterol. Cook at home more often. Limit sauces, mixes, and instant products, including flavored rice and ready-made pasta.
