One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we\u2019re more successful at meeting our health goals when we work on them with others. NHLBI launched the #OurHearts movement to inspire us to protect and strengthen our hearts with the support of others.<\/p>\n Here are some facts, how-to tips, and resources to inspire you to join with others, even if you can\u2019t be physically together, to improve your heart health.<\/p>\n Heart<\/a><\/span> disease<\/span><\/a><\/strong> is a leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States.
