The Journey to a Healthier Heart focuses on small changes to create healthy habits to last a lifetime. With heart disease identified as the leading cause of death for both men and women, your heart health should be a priority. While genetics plays some role in your risk of heart disease, the lifestyle practices of eating well and engaging in routine physical activity are central to reducing high blood pressure and the risk of this disease.

Making these important lifestyle changes can seem overwhelming, and Penn State Extension wants to help you!  Join our "Journey to a Healthier Heart," a no cost 12-week email series, which will encourage you through setting practical goals. Best of all, this series is full of useful information such as meal planning tips and recipes to help you reduce your blood pressure.

Adopting a new habit for 12 weeks dramatically increases your chances of making it permanent, so why not invest in yourself and sign up today!
