Heart Failure & Maintaining Quality of Life
Coping and maintaining ones' quality of life can be difficult with all the challenging symptoms, impaired physical function, treatment demands, stress, and so much more. How does one living with heart failure deal with the impact it has on their everyday life?
Great Question
The two most practical and healthy practices for me are exercise and diet control. Neither one of them has to be extreme for me to feel like I'm having a positive impact on my condition and lifestyle.
same for me. My goal now is to avoid weight gain by a new way of eating watching and eliminating high sale and sodium foods plus almost daily vigorous exercise. 
What a great goal! I'm glad to hear you have a plan in place. For me, sometimes if I'm not feeling up to vigorous exercise, a walk will help me get into the mood to work out harder. Just a thought. All the best, Lauren (team member)

What changes did you make to your diet? I cut down on salt and sugar. I ate more fruits and vegetables (I Love Broccoli), didnt drink soda for a long time.
