Myth: I’m way too busy. I simply don’t have time for exercise and other things that are all about me.

Fact: Taking care of you is not just about you! Dr. Bauman says, “We women are more worried about others than ourselves. But our good habits are for others, too.” Our loved ones learn from the good things we do for ourselves. By taking proactive heart-healthful steps, we pave the way for them and us for a lifetime of better health.
