Did you know that your heart beats an average of 2.5 billion times in your lifetime? That\u2019s an average of about 100,000 times a day and 35 million beats in a year.

This month, fittingly, is Heart Month and as we wrap up the shortest month of the year it\u2019s a good time to reflect on if we\u2019re taking care of this industrious organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
