In February’s frosty embrace, we celebrate love and pause to care about heart health.
Emphasizing heart health is crucial as we age, with the heart’s function playing a central role in our overall well-being. The changes that come with aging require us to adopt informed health practices, focusing strongly on physical health through regular activity and proper nutrition.
While individual habits are vital, the support systems and opportunities provided by senior living communities can be integral to maintaining cardiovascular health. At Village Green Senior Living, the commitment to heart health extends beyond the walls of their buildings.
Let’s get down to the heart of the matter: maintaining our best heart health!
Keep your body moving
The connection between physical activity – not just exercise – and a healthy heart is clear. Regular exercise strengthens the heart with each beat, improving overall health. Staying active can also help maintain a healthy weight and lower some risks associated with chronic diseases.

At Village Green, the team has made cardiovascular care exciting. Join group walks along peaceful paths shaded by beautiful trees. Experience a blend of serenity and a workout in their yoga sessions. You’ll find fitness programs tailored to each resident’s abilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle, whether a marathon runner or a leisurely stroller.
Maintain a heart-healthy diet
Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining heart health, just as exercise does. A diet overflowing with essential nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats significantly contributes to cardiovascular strength.
