We are happy to announce Dr. Robert Sonnenschein, heart specialist with the Oklahoma Heart Institute, Cushing, will be providing Heart Health Tips on this website.
Tip #1 – Heart Health Starts With Total Body Health
Heart health starts with total body health before aggressively working on risk factor changes. Before embarking on a new lifestyle, one needs to see his or her primary care giver to make sure their overall health is stable and that they will be able to exercise. Also, a baseline evaluation of fasting blood work should be obtained so that metabolic status and cholesterol levels along with glucose levels are known. Defining baseline status will help determine what changes need to be entertained and how to best to progress to greater cardiovascular health.
