Did you know over 84 million Americans suffer from a form of cardiovascular disease? The human heart beats 100,000 times a day and around 2.5 billion times in an average lifetime. February is Heart Health Awareness Month, and with heart disease being the leading cause of death for both men and women it is imperative to be aware of your heart’s age and what you can do to keep it running in tip top shape.
