Healthy Swellness: Jamieson Vitamin’s #ChangeOfHeart Challenge

January 31, 2015

February is Heart Health Month. And to make the most of this important month (did you know heart disease is the number-one killer of women?), Jamieson is inviting Canadian women to take part in their #ChangeOfHeart Challenge, in which you make simple lifestyle changes in your everyday life that will help improve your heart health.

(and even better, to acknowledge all of us who will take part in the challenge and to recognize the importance of heart health, the vitamin company will make a $25,000 donation to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre.)

I’ll be committing to the challenge by incorporating small changes into my routine — top of mind for me is getting more sleep (many nights, I only get five or six hours, when I probably need more like seven or eight). Physical inactivity, another risk factor, is another I will try to improve on; because even though I do exercise regularly, the continuous hours of sitting in front of the computer or watching Netflix are not good for my ticker.

Not sure what simple changes you can make to your routine? Well, sign up for the #ChangeOfHeart Challenge on Facebook, and every day a challenge will be posted along with heart-health tips. And if you need more incentive other than getting healthier, well, each challenge you complete will enter you in a weekly draw to with a Jamieson heart health prize consisting of an activity tracker, gym bag, a three-month supply of Jamieson OmegaRED Super Krill and more.

(OmegaRED Super Krill, pictured above, is a non-fishy softgel that boasts an antioxidant, astaxanthin, that makes it nearly 50 times more effective than other omega-3 products. Omega-3s help to maintain your heart health by reducing your levels of bad cholesterol while also boosting your levels of good cholesterol.)

Sign up for the #ChangeOfHeart Challenge today so you don’t miss out on any of the tips or challenges.
