A cardiologist has offered some tips to women to keep their hearts healthy.
Dr. Karla Kurrelmeyer at the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center in Houston focuses on research and treatment of women with heart disease.
American Heart Month, recognized in February by the American Heart Association, gives her an opportunity to share with women on a broader scale what she shares with her patients year round.
“The most important thing I tell my female patients is to stay to as physically fit as possible. every woman should work exercise into her lifestyle. find something you enjoy doing, and do it regularly and often,” Kurrelmeyer said.
“In addition to exercising, follow the Mediterranean diet, which is high in fish and fresh vegetables, and low in processed carbohydrates.
“Get your cholesterol checked, especially if there is a family history of heart disease or stroke. At age 20 women are seeing their OB/gynecologists who perform blood pressure checks, fasting lipid panels and fasting sugars. Even young women should pay attention to these numbers and be on alert if any are out of range. If these numbers are abnormal, they indicate that you are at risk for developing heart problems in the future.
“They are early warning signals, which if corrected and treated can help prevent the development of heart disease. Often these numbers can be corrected with lifestyle changes including improving your diet, exercising and losing weight. If these measures fail, they can be easily corrected with medication.
“I like to do an initial, thorough heart check at age 40 if a woman has risk factors or a family history of heart disease, or at age 50 if there’s no family history or risk factors. I don’t recommend heart scans until age 55.

I just wanted to say hi
I know people that have gone right back to their pre-baby weight, but I'm not one of them. My youngest is seven, and I'm just now after several failed attempts over the years, losing weight. I'm determined! When I was havin' kids I didn't want to lose weight. Sounds crazy, but I was worried if I lost the weight I wouldn't want to get pregnant again. Losing the weight in between would've been a lot healthier and better for me. Then I wouldn't have this extra 40 lbs on me.
