February is all about the heart—both in terms of love and health! As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s also the perfect time to focus on cardiovascular wellness during American Heart Month. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, making it essential for everyone—especially travel healthcare professionals—to prioritize heart-healthy habits.
At Aequor, we recognize the dedication of healthcare workers and the vital role they play in heart health. As we also celebrate Cardiovascular Professionals Week (February 11-17, 2024), we encourage all healthcare professionals to take care of their own hearts while caring for others.
Stay Active Even on busy days, finding time for movement is essential. Take the stairs, stretch between shifts, or go for a brisk walk to keep your heart pumping. Small efforts add up!
Eat for Your Heart Incorporate heart-friendly foods like berries, salmon, nuts, avocados, and leafy greens into your diet. When dining out on assignment, opt for grilled over fried and choose whole grains whenever possible.
Prioritize Rest Quality sleep is key to heart health. Aim for 7-9 hours per night to help regulate blood pressure and reduce stress. If adjusting to a new location, try using a white noise machine or relaxation techniques.
Stay Hydrated Drinking enough water supports circulation and prevents dehydration, which can strain the heart. Carry a reusable water bottle as a reminder to stay hydrated throughout your shift.
Manage Stress The fast paced world of healthcare can take a toll on your heart. Practice deep breathing, mindfulness, or hobbies you enjoy to reduce stress levels. Connecting with fellow healthcare professionals can also provide valuable support.
As you care for patients this February, remember to take a moment to care for yourself too. Encourage colleagues and patients to prioritize heart health, whether by organizing a workplace step challenge, sharing heart-healthy recipes, or simply spreading awareness.
At Aequor, we appreciate the dedication and passion that travel healthcare professionals bring to their work. If you’re looking for your next assignment with a company that values both your career and well being, connect with an Aequor recruiter today!
