Health Note Women s Heart-Health In May, The Chronic Disease Prevention Program celebrates Mother s day by honoring Women s Heart Health. As a mother, you work and take care of the house and family, and often forget about your own health. Many women are unaware of the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and as a result suffer from heart disease until it s too late. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases and stroke cause 1 in 3 women s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every 80 seconds. Fewer women than men survive their fi rst heart attack. In Hispanic women: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, killing nearly 21,000 each year. Hispanic women are likely to develop heart disease 10 years earlier than Caucasian women. Only 34% of Hispanic women know that heart disease is their greatest health risk. Information is the key and also the way to prevent! Here are two suggestions: #1: Regular Checkups Check your blood pressure, cholesterol and body weight. These are the screening tests for optimal cardiovascular health. In addition, have your blood sugar level tested by the time you re 45. After the fi rst results your doctor will tell you how often, at a minimum every three years. Here are the tests you should have: Weight and Body Mass Index Waist Circumference Blood Pressure Cholesterol Heart Exam Fasting Blood Glucose Also, it is important to know your numbers. Here s a quick overview of the numbers you need to know and your goals. Be sure to talk to your doctor to see how your current numbers measure up. Total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dl HDL (good) cholesterol 50 mg/dl or higher LDL (bad) cholesterol less than 100 mg/dl Triglycerides 150 mg/dl Blood pressure less than 120/80 mm Hg Body Mass Index less than 25 kg/m2 Waist circumference less than 35 in. #2: Physical Activity Decreased ability to exercise can be a sign of heart disease. If you are becoming less active with age, see a doctor to rule out any health issues. Then start moving! Regular physical activity increases your chances of living a longer, healthier life. It reduces your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and some types of cancer. In California, 4% walk or bike to work, and 75% exercise 2.5 to 5 hours week. What are you waiting for?! Prevent heart disease. Stay active and schedule your checkups.

mayo 2016 Nota para Su Salud La Salud de la Mujer y Su Corazón En mayo, El Programa de Prevención de Enfermedades Crónicas celebra el Día De Las Madres en honor a un corazón más sano. Como mujer y madre, usted trabaja, cuida de su casa y la familia, y muchas veces se olvida su propia salud. Muchas no conocen los síntomas de la enfermedad cardiovascular y como resultado sufren de enfermedades del corazón hasta que ya es muy tarde. La Asociación Americana del Corazón nos dice que las enfermedades cardiovasculares y embolias causan 1 de cada 3 muertes en las mujeres cada año. Aproximadamente, matando una mujer cada 80 segundos. Menos mujeres que hombres sobreviven un primer ataque al corazón. En las mujeres Hispanas: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la causa principal de muerte, matando casi 21,000 cada año. Las enfermedades del corazón en las hispanas aparecen 10 años antes que en mujeres caucásicas. Solamente el 34% de las mujeres hispanas saben que las enfermedades del corazón es su riesgo de salud más grande. La clave es la información y también la manera de prevenir. Aquí están dos sugerencias: #1: Chequeos regulares Cheque su presión arterial, colesterol y peso corporal. Estos son las pruebas para alcanzar una salud cardiovascular óptima. También, para la edad de 45 años cheque su nivel de azúcar. Después de los resultados de la primera prueba sabrá que tan seguido repetirla, mínimamente cada tres años. Estas son las pruebas: Peso e índice de masa corporal Circunferencia de cintura Presión arterial Colesterol Examen del Corazón Examen de glucosa en ayunas También es importante conocer sus números. Aquí le mostramos los números que hay que conocer y las metas. Asegúrese hablar con su doctor para ver que tan bien mide usted. Colesterol total: 200 mg/dl o menos HDL colesterol (bueno): 50 mg/dl o más LDL colesterol (malo): 100 mg/dl o menos Triglicéridos: 150 mg/dl o menos Presión arterial de la sangre: 120/80 mm Hg Índice de masa corporal: 25 kg/m o menos Circunferencia de la cintura: 35 pulgadas o menos #2: Actividad Física La falta de habilidad de hacer ejercicio es una señal de que hay enfermedad del corazón. Si con los años usted es menos activa, visite a su doctor para saber que todo está bien. Y después, a moverse! La actividad física aumenta la posibilidad de vivir una vida más larga y más sana. También reduce el riesgo de presión de la sangre alta, enfermedad del corazón y algunos tipos de cáncer. En California, un cuatro por ciento de las personas caminan o manejan su bicicleta al trabajo y un 75 por ciento de las personas dedican de dos y media a cinco horas de ejercicio por semana. Que espera usted?! Prevenga las enfermedades del corazón. Manténgase activa y asista a sus chequeos médicos.
