Put a Little Love in Your Heart
During American Heart Month, Dr. Sid offers some healthy advice and tips on the best ways we can nourish our hearts.
“How do we give back some love to our heart, which works for us tirelessly and unconditionally every second, all year, for all our life?” says Dr. Kumara Sidhartha, MD, MPH, medical director of the CCHC Employee Health Plan. “When we take a look at how we nourish the heart, you have to look at the best nutrition and how to slow down now and then,” says Dr. Sid. We invite you to take a couple of minutes to watch Dr. Sid’s latest video about the simple ways you can introduce smart eating habits and mindfulness into your daily routine to give back some love to your heart.

Peak Mind: Find Your Flashlight
“Find your flashlight” is a simple, but powerful breath awareness exercise that is the building block for attention training. In this exercise, we narrow the field of attention, much like using a flashlight to zero in on something; in this case, the breath. For this challenge, do the “Peak Mind: Find Your Flashlight” practice once a week. Want to learn more about developing a Peak Mind? Visit point32health.org/peakmind.
