Community Conversations: Senior Health
Making healthy, informed choices during any decade of life increases the chances of staying healthy. Taking steps to reduce the risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses can help improve quality of life as a person gets older.
During the last week of October, the American Heart Association joined Community Health Centers of Arkansas for a Community Conversations webinar series focused on senior health.
Webinar topics included: Telehealth services, cardiovascular disease and vulnerable populations and COVID-19 and senior wellness checks. The series was sponsored by CHI St. Vincent and Saline Memorial Hospital.

Mental Health
Feelings of stress, anxiety, uneasiness and lack of sleep can make it difficult to function normally. Mental health and physical health are closely linked, so finding ways to combat and manage stress in the (virtual) workplace and exercise while working remotely.
Move More
Take time to switch up our workout regimen, which can help to boost our immune system, help relieve mental stress and improve overall health. Here is a quick easy way to create an At-Home Circuit Workout. Do each exercise in short bursts and repeat the circuit two to three times.
Eat Healthy
We know that many of you may be cooking more at home right now. While some may find the thought of cooking stressful, making healthy meals is a great way to protect your heart. The American Heart Association has resources to fit all skillsets starting with how to cook healthier at home. For those wishing to improve their abilities, there’s an entire section dedicated to cooking techniques.
Advocate for Heart Health
You're the Cure is working within our community to empower citizens to take informed action on local and state policies, and champion policies and laws that help people avoid unhealthy practices and create safer communities.
