H is for Heart Health

What could do a heart better than exercising the body and the mind? In the above photo, we have both, bicyclists riding past the public library. Greensboro has many bike clubs; some expect riders to maintain a rigorous pace and others are happy to let riders pedal along at a leisurely pace. Regardless of pace, bike riding is good for heart health. Greensboro has many libraries. All are inviting places and are good for brain health.

This month, the American Heart Association is having the Guilford Heart Ball.  There is a healthy heart challenge. If you want to vote for one of the finalists, go to the Bank of Oak Ridge website. They are looking for three people to become Healthy Heart Challenge winners. Hopefully, you are doing something to keep your heart healthy. We want our GDP readers to be around for a really long time! If you aren't sure what to do, go research ideas at the public library.

We're sharing this post with our friends at ABC Wednesday and for the S.T.E.A.M. Round,  "H" is for "heart health."

A great idea! Cycling is good for everybody. Once I was treated by a physiotherapist because my right leg was terribly hurting. Before the next appointment I went cycling with a friend. We cycled for a couple of hours, and when I came home my leg was fine, so I cancelled the appointment.So it's certainly excellent for the whole body!
Thanks for your visit.

Nice shot, and a good cause.

My preferred forms of exercise are walking, swimming, and rock climbing.

It's always fun seeing bicyclists riding around in packs. Don't know why it is, but it makes me smile.
