Heart Health and America's Baby Boomers

Are you one of America’s baby boomers? If so, you are lumped into a vibrant group that is embracing the idea of aging well.

In order to age well, you need to have a healthy heart. To ensure you are taking care of your heart health, Dr. Lee Friedman, a radiologist from Petersburg, FL., has laid out some important questions to ask your physician. Dr. Friedman has had heart complications and knows first hand that there is an overwhelming amount of information. Here are 5 important topics to discuss with your doctor:

  1. What is my risk for cardiovascular disease?

  2. Are my numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose and body mass index normal?

  3. What foods and supplements can I take to support heart health?

  4. What are some exercises and physical activities I should consider?

  5. Will I ever need a pacemaker?
