Homework

Heart Healthy?

Select one of the two options below to write about in your blog posts. If you are really motivated, feel free to do both!

1. Sometime this week, pick a day to evaluate what you eat. Specifically look at the sodium intake and fat intake you have for one day. Imagine you were restricted of salt and fat intake – could you easily adjust ? Cardiac patients are required to be on a ‘Heart Healthy’ diet, which usually consists of low salt and low fat. Depending on the other comorbidities the patient has, additional restrictions may apply. Check out this site for more information.
2. Find something new in cardiac health. This could be monitoring equipment, home care, surgical interventions, or medications. Anything specific to advancements in cardiac care. Write about it. Include an image or video. Don’t know how to include an image or video? Check out lynda.com, ask a friend, or send me an email. I love to hear what you find so I can learn what is new also!
