Heart disease remains the No. 1 cause of death in Ohio and the nation. But by making small changes – like taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work or avoiding “screen time” just before bed – you can make a big difference in your heart health.

Those practical tips and much more are the focus of the latest episode of the Ohio Department of Health podcast series, “Healthy Perspectives with Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff.”

Joined by Dr. Joshua Joseph, an endocrinologist at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, Dr. Vanderhoff leads a discussion of how you can add physical activity into your daily routine, make better food choices, lower your stress levels and improve your sleep quality.

All those factors can help your heart and lead to a longer, healthier life.
