| FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART MONTH |
Healthy Heart Tips and Programs at the YMCA |
Blood pressure control worsened in both men and woman since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The YMCA of Greater Nashua urges our community to make their health a priority. While blood pressure and heart disease are serious conditions, the good news is a healthy heart is an achievable goal through lifestyle changes. Getting help can be as easy as contacting the Y and taking part in a new program or class. |
