The American Heart Association
recently added healthy sleep to the
checklist of essential factors for a
healthy heart and brain.
Getting the recommended daily amount of sleep helps people manage
other essential health factors such as weight, blood pressure and blood
sugar. The checklist - Life's Essential 8™ - also includes diet, physical
activity, nicotine exposure, and cholesterol level.
Now that you know about Life's Essential 8, use
My Life Check to assess your own health and better
understand your risk for heart disease and stroke.
