Talk looks at how to ‘love your heart’
NIHD event to promote exercise for a healthy heart
Join Northern Inyo Healthcare District Physical Therapist Adam Maxwell and Renown Health Cardiologist Dr. Christopher Rowan on at 5:30 p.m. today for a NIHD Healthy Lifestyle Talk, “Love Your Heart: Keeping your heart happy and healthy through exercise.”
Maxwell, from Northern Inyo Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services, and Rowan will discuss the importance of diet and exercise in maintaining heart health.
Each will offer their professional insight into questions cardiac patients often ask them. These questions include how to start exercising after a cardiac event and how today’s diet methods, such as intermittent fasting, apply to cardiac patients.
