Ready to take control of your heart health? ❤️
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death globally, but lifestyle changes can flip the script. Dr. Michael Chisner (St. Joseph’s/Candler) recommends a 12-week plan to reset your habits.
Here’s the roadmap to a stronger heart:
7/ Shop & Dine Smart 🍽️ Read labels at the store and ask how food is prepared at restaurants. Avoid heavy cream sauces and fried dishes.
8/ Never Skip Breakfast 🥞 Fuel your metabolism early to avoid energy crashes and overeating later.
At St. Joseph’s/Candler, we’re replacing traditional wires with SAVI SCOUT—a tiny radar clip smaller than a grain of rice that helps surgeons locate tumors with pinpoint accuracy. 🛰️
