Monthly Mindfulness: What’s Coming in February
February is Heart Health Month, and not just because there are hearts everywhere for Valentine’s Day. When you think of heart health, we bet you think of eating nutritious foods and exercise as the most important things to keep your heart at peak performance. And you’re right! But we would also like to add one more habit to that list: mindfulness. Strengthening the connection between your mind and your body is another way to care for your heart this month. Log in and explore these heart healthy eM Life live programs today!
