February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Get Fit Like the First Lady: Take a Peek at Michelle Obama’s Workout Playlist


#FitFlyFab is now an agenda of mine. I have been working hard watching what I eat and getting more active so I can be physically fit. I have lost a little bit of weight so far, but it’s also been hard maintaining a healthy lifestyle when I travel so much. Luckily, there’s FLOTUS Michelle Obama, who looks so amazing—every time I see her, I am reminded just how fly I can be if I practiced good eating habits and worked out on a regular basis.

Recently, Michelle O shared her workout playlist with Women’s Health magazine. This playlist gets Michelle inspired while working out. I must admit, as a music junkie, I am quite impressed with her playlist. Check out the tunes for yourself:

1. Stevie Wonder: Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)

2. Beyonce: Move Your Body (Let’s Move Theme)

http://youtu.be/MYq0zAQ3lHY

3. Jonelle Monae: Tightrope

4. Sara Bareilles: Love Song

5. Michael Jackson: Unbreakable

6. Willow Smith: Whip My Hair

http://youtu.be/ymKLymvwD2U

7. Beyonce: I Was Here

8. Chubb Rock: Treat ‘Em Right

9. Ledisi: Thank You

10. Jennifer Lopez: Get Right

As you can see, Michelle Obama’s musical tastes are diverse! I love the way she blends pop, soul, R&B, hip hop, and old school.

In honor of National Women’s Health Week, Michelle also wrote an article for Women’s Health magazine called ‘Taking Control of Our Health’. She discusses how she became more concerned about her health after a chat with her family pediatrician when her girls were younger. The discussion made her realize that there were some changes that needed to be made as it related to the foods that they were eating. It was from then on that Michelle made it a point to make health a priority in their lives, so they began eating out less, watching their portions, and being more active.

That’s what being fit meant to me: feeling good inside and out, and taking control of my health.

You can read the full article HERE.

Kudos to the First Lady for making being healthy the IN thing to do. She is a great example for all of us to follow!

Doesn’t seeing Michelle’s devotion to health and fitness make you want to be fit and fly and fab too?
