February is Heart Month. Heart disease continues to be the greatest health threat and is still the leading cause of death worldwide. In 2019 nearly 18.6 million people across the globe died of cardiovascular disease and 523.2 million cases of cardiovascular disease were reported.
We all know the formula to combat heart disease.
- Be physically active. …
- Eat a healthy diet. …
- Watch your weight
According to an article in John Hopkins Medical, 30 minutes daily Aerobic exercise, for at least five days a week “increases your overall aerobic fitness and it helps your cardiac output (how well your heart pumps)“. Unfortunately physical exercise can be a challenge (especially in our busy lives).
The good news is there are wearables and fitness trackers that can help us map our progress in our fitness journey. Not only can they help us get into shape not only in Heart month but throughout the year. Wearables are devices that have smart sensors and are connected to a device or an app for data analysis. In combination with apps the best wearables offer in-depth features including: heart rate monitoring, detailed sleep tracking, waterproof for swimming, stress tracking, sports and workout modes and, of course, step counting.
