Chances are your kids have more energy than they know what to do with.

You can help them use that energy to keep their hearts healthy and strong all through their lives. The key is to develop good habits for healthy hearts early. You can be their role model. Show them that exercising often and eating right is not only healthful, it’s fun. Help them take on an active lifestyle now and they’ll be on a path to good heart health for their adult lives. By showing your kids good habits, you’ll be improving your own heart health, too.


Fact The human heart beats more than 2.5 billion times in an average life span. This booklet teaches you how to strengthen your heart, no matter how old you are.
The heart is a strong muscle that is about the size of your fist. It pumps blood to the millions of cells in your body.
