Celebrity Couples Who Prove That Love Isn’t Dead

On the final episode of “The Secrets to a Healthier, Happier You in 2020” podcast, Us Weekly‘s Christina Garibaldi and RxSaver’s medical expert Dr. Holly Phillips reveal the importance of heart health and how it affects every aspect of your life.

“The heart is the center of the body. It’s the most important muscle,” Phillips explains. “It pumps blood and oxygen to all of our organs. We literally can’t live without it.”

According to the doctor, the most important part of maintaining a healthy heart is knowing your numbers.

“It’s the very first thing I tell my patients,” Phillips says, referring to cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. “Ideally our total cholesterol number should be below 200. … If you have too much bad cholesterol, it can contribute to artery clogging plaques. When your heart gets clogged, that’s what causes a heart attack.”

Several heart healthy tips involve trying to follow a mostly plant-based diet. According to Phillips, people should limit red meat, sugary foods and sugary drinks. “That’s the basis of a heart healthy diet,” she says. “And quit smoking. If you do smoke, quit. … If you do drink a glass of wine a day and you’re a woman, you don’t need to stop. But we don’t suggest that people start drinking to help their cholesterol.”

But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique.

If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
