Robinsons Supermarket Gets Heart Smart

Our heart is the most hardworking muscle in our body. Always on the go. Never gets a vacation, a weekend off or even a 10-minute break, not even a time out when we’re asleep. Truth is, we can’t afford for our hearts to skip a beat. Here are some tips to get heart smart.

1. Get active.

Try brisk walking, dancing, cycling or whatever activity you enjoy thrice a week for at least half an hour or more. This will prep you up for Robinsons Supermarket’s 5th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run on July 1, 2012 at Bonifacio Global City. Registration will start on May 1 at select stores.

2. Relax.

Small pleasures may reduce the risks of heart ailments. Know when to take a break or to unwind. Practice yoga, take a power nap, or a stroll, maintain a happy disposition, spend time with your family, get a massage, and laugh!

3. Eat Smart.

Add more fruits and green leafy vegetables to your diet. When we eat better, we feel better. The Health & Wellness section in Robinsons Supermarket offers a wide selection of heart healthy products.

4. Regular annual checkups.

It doesn’t hurt to always keep one’s health in check. Robinsons Supermarket, in coordination with New World Diagnostics, is offering free blood pressure check-ups at select stores starting March 21, 2012 to May 31, 2012.
