Are you heart smart?
Heart attacks may be a leading killer of emergency-service providers, but many of the contributing risk factors can be addressed through prudent lifestyle practices. Of all businesses and industries, emergency services generally have more knowledge, time and/or flexibility to exercise and actively participate in healthy lifestyles. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on healthy living than on benefits that deal with the results of unhealthy lifestyles. Stop smoking, drink sensibly, eat a healthy diet and exercise. Until next time ... be safe!
