Sending Out Some Love...

This month, FITMOM is all about love! February is not only known for Valentine's Day, but it is also Heart Month.  Heart month is dedicated to raising awareness towards heart health.  Did you know heart disease (heart attack or stroke) is a leading cause of death for most Canadian Women? In fact most Canadian Women have at least 1 factor for Cardiovascular Disease.

There are also certain unique factors that affect women more than men.  They include the use of oral contraceptives (especially if over the age of 40), pregnancy and gestational diabetes.  Some women develop Pregnancy Induced Hypertension during pregnancy that may lead to Pre-eclampsia.  Risk factors for developing pre-eclampsia include being younger than 20 or over 40 years old, carrying more than one baby, or have an underlying health issue (like kidney disease or diabetes).  Getting healthy before you become pregnant and exercising regularly can help reduce your risk. For more information you can visit the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

At FITMOM we want to encourage our mamas to be the healthiest, and most vibrant version of themselves.  We want you to look after your heart and support you in establishing healthy habits.  To help get you off on the right foot this February we're going to share 14 of our favourite reasons to love FITMOM on our Facebook Page!
