KALEY Hello, Children! Kaley and Lillie here, your friendly neighborhood heart-whisperer mostly because I whisper to my patients to eat more veggies. Today's topic?Keeping your ticker tickin' like a happy little metronome – without becoming a monk! LILLIE First, the boring but crucial stuff is healthy! Think kale, not cake. Okay, maybe a *little* cake. We're aiming for "mostly healthy," not "saintly." Remember to eat heart-healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, eggs, and proteins. KALEY Oops, got carried away. NextExercise!Now, before you picture grueling marathons, think of dancing like nobody's watching because, let's face it, nobody *is* watching your Zumba attempts. Even a brisk walk counts! LILLIE Maintain a healthy weight! No, I don't mean weighing yourself every five minutes. Just be kind to your body and quit smoking! Because your lungs deserve better. KALEY Control cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure.Sounds intimidating, right? But it's just telling your body to chill out. Meditation helps! LILLIE Moderate alcohol intake. One glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away... or at least keeps them from being *too* judgmental about my cake consumption. KALEY Manage stress and get enough sleep. Because grumpy hearts are not fun hearts. Or you could give yourself heart disease! LILLIE And remember, your cardiovascular system is your body's amazing delivery service, ensuring everything gets where it needs to go. So treat it well! KALEY Now for some fun facts! LILLIE Did you know that your heart beats over 100,000 thousand times a day? KALEY Or, Your heart pumps about 1.5 gallons of blood every minute. Over a day, that adds up to over 2,000 gallons. BOTH Have fun and stay safe kids!
