February 2026 Health Tip

February is recognized as Heart Health Month, making it a beautiful time to reflect on how Scripture invites us to cultivate a heart shaped by God’s love. Our heart is one of God’s greatest gifts, and this month is filled with symbols of love like the red heart emoji and Valentine’s Day. Heart Health Month is also an important reminder to nurture our physical well‑being.
 
Heart disease remains a major health concern, but small, consistent choices can help us maintain healthier heart and a stronger body for God’s service.
 
Heart‑Healthy Habits to Focus On This Month
 
•          Move a little more each day. A short walk, stretching, or light activity can support overall wellness.
 
•          Choose foods that nourish. Adding more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support heart health.
 
•          Stay hydrated. Drinking water throughout the day helps your body function at its best.
 
•          Manage stress with prayer and rest. Quiet moments with God, deep breathing, or journaling can help calm the mind.
 
•          Check in with your doctor. Regular health checkups help you stay aware of your overall well‑being.
 
A healthy heart is more than physical—it’s spiritual. As we care for our bodies, we also nurture a heart filled with compassion, forgiveness, and God’s love.
