By James “Jay” Reynolds, AGACNP-BC Cardiology WITH the holiday season past and the cold, wet winter at our doorstep, it’s a good time to turn inward and focus on our health. As we naturally find ourselves more confined to the indoors during this time of the year, exercise and healthy, fresh meals are more difficult to fit into daily life. Add to this the stress that frequently accompanies the holiday season and we have a recipe for heart health concerns. Here are some tips to get you through the winter with a heart-healthy focus. Maintain your exercise regimen that you worked so hard on over the summer months. Sure, rainy, cold weather is no fun and may limit your ability to take long walks, but it doesn’t mean you have to stop altogether. There are plenty of places to continue that are indoors, like area gyms where you can walk on a treadmill, the new indoor track at Clatsop Community College or the local swimming pools where water aerobics are offered. At CMH, we even have a cardiac rehab gym that you can use for exercise, and all it takes is talking to your care providers to get started.
