Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and the number one cause of death for women? In fact, more than one million people either have their first or second heart attack every day.

February is American Heart Month and the American Heart Association suggests the following steps to take good care of your heart:

• Good Nutrition. A healthy diet is important! The AHA website features heart-friendly recipes that are delicious for you and your whole family.
• Physical activity. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. A short, brisk walk can benefit your circulation, respiration and overall physical well-being, including your heart strength.
• Manage your weight. You can make major strides toward a healthy body weight by eating well and exercising daily. For example, losing just 10 pounds can help reduce your risk of a heart attack by more than 50%.
• Reduce stress. Yoga is a great way to work your body and mind and can deliver peaceful moments while increasing flexibility and strength.

Aristotle and other ancient Greek philosophers and scientists thought the heart was a lot of things: the seat of thought, reason, emotion or the soul. Today we know the heart is a vital organ that distributes blood throughout our bodies. A healthy heart is a symbol of fitness and wellness, but also love and affection.

February is American Heart Month and one way to support heart health is to get massages regularly. Basic massage strokes stimulate receptors that cause overall relaxation, including widening of the blood vessels. This results in a lower heart rate and a lower blood pressure, both good for the heart.

Men have discovered that not only does it feel good to look good, but it can mean a boost to their overall health and wellness. Pedicures provide all of these benefits. In fact, according to an article from AARP, men overall are finding that professional pedicures make their feet feel better. Older men in particular find that having someone else do the grooming helps as bending down gets harder to do. Serious runners also find that well-cared for feet do better during rigorous training and competition.

Pedicures offer numerous benefits to men and women:

• Stress relief. Pedicures include a mini foot massage that is relaxing and good for circulation.
• Exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells helps to reduce calluses.
• Encourage healthy cuticles. Grooming helps prevent hang nails, which can be painful and unsightly.
• Discourage ingrown toenails. Keeping nails trimmed and shaped promotes proper growth.
• Make your feet more pleasurable to touch. Your significant other will know that you care!

At Tranquility Mind & Body Wellness Spa, our Gentleman’s Spa services are designed to make you feel good and look good from top to bottom. Our trained technicians will trim and buff your nails, remove cuticles, give you an exfoliating scrub and provide a foot massage that will leave you less stressed and your feet feeling great.
