These technologies will make your heart happy

This month we celebrate the 57th consecutive American Heart Month. President Lyndon B. Johnson first declared February American Heart Month in 1964, and ever since, February has been a time to raise awareness of heart disease and celebrate heart health.

Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans and can be preventable. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and getting physical exercise are all ways to protect your heart.
