Healthy at Home

While we all adopt to a new normal – a new way of living, working and playing amidst a global pandemic,  the American Heart Association recognizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for our hearts and minds.  And although the way in which we work out, dine, or connect with others may be changing, it’s still possible to #MoveMore, #EatSmart and #BeWell at home.

Join the Movement
In the days and weeks ahead we’ll be sharing tips and ideas for staying healthy at home across our social media and online channels. We would love to include your expert advice and tips on how you’re moving more, eating smart or being well at home. Check out the example from our friend Dandre below and the three easy steps for getting involved. We hope you’ll join us!

  1. Pick a topic that you would like to share a tip or idea on for staying healthy at home:
    • Move More – Staying active is key to our overall health. How can we move more while at home?
    • Eat Smart – What are your tips and tricks for healthy cooking, snack or recipes?
