While this month traditionally spotlights cardiovascular health, longevity enthusiasts like you, Healthcare Pro, know that true wellness is a more nuanced story — one that extends beyond just the heart.
Your resting pulse, social connections, and even your screen time all play surprising roles in longevity. These subtle signals add up to a powerful truth: wellness isn't found in grand gestures, but in understanding (and responding to) the quiet indicators your body naturally expresses.
This month, we're exploring the science behind those signals - because your health deserves attention far beyond February's 28 days.
While February often brings thoughts of romance, science reveals that love, from romantic partnerships to close friendships, may be a powerful intervention for long-term health and longevity. Research suggests that strong social relationships can increase life expectancy by up to 50% - a number on par with other major health interventions.
Fitness Tip from James LaValle, R.Ph., CCN, MT, DHM, DHPh
"Prioritize movement every day! Even a 10-minute brisk walk after meals can help regulate blood sugar, lower inflammation, and improve circulation—key factors for heart health. Consistency is more important than intensity, so find activities you enjoy and make them part of your routine!"
