Knowing your numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and total time spent exercising each day can be life-saving. These numbers can provide a glimpse of your health status and risk for certain diseases and conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and more.

Lorain County General Health District Health Commissioner Kenneth Pearce, M.P.H. reminds, “Even small changes in your diet, physical activity, and smoking habits can have major positive impacts in your overall health.” Check with your healthcare provider to see what your numbers should be. “Whether your numbers are too high or too low, it is important to know that healthy lifestyle choices can help get them into a healthier range.”

Set your numbers goal and make a plan to reach them. Start your numbers plan today to improve your heart health for tomorrow and years to come.
