A note from Dr. Ramo
Dear friends of New Heart,
The pandemic has dramatically changed all our lives. It is doubly difficult for those of you recovering from surgery or a heart attack but there is much you can do to stay safe. What we do know is that what you were doing to maintain your health is very important in building immunity. We know that your immunity is boosted with regular exercise, good heart healthy nutrition and getting enough sleep.
Our wonderful staff at New Heart has produced a series of videos that will help you stay in shape. You can watch them by clicking on the button below.
On these lovely days, try to walk 5,000 steps a day using social distancing of more than six feet.
Wear your face mask and of course, personal hygiene with frequent hand washing are important.
