Thus knowing about cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and heart disease is not the issue but accessibility and having a mindset to take incremental measures to improve your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said there are barriers and perceptions that result in the variation of numbers across demographics. Barriers include limited access to healthy and affordable food, and safe environments for outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBarriers include social structures that don&#8217;t facilitate people leading healthy and active lives,\u201d Daniels said, adding that it is an issue rooted in racism.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"141\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/texasmetronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Live-to-the-beat.png?resize=640%2C141&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/texasmetronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Live-to-the-beat.png?resize=640%2C141&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/texasmetronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Live-to-the-beat.png?resize=325%2C71&amp;ssl=1 325w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/texasmetronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Live-to-the-beat.png?resize=768%2C169&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/texasmetronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Live-to-the-beat.png?w=856&amp;ssl=1 856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>He said CDC boldly states that \u201cracism is a public health issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perception is a factor because many perceive heart diseases as inevitable and just a matter of ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne may ask, why would I make an effort to change something that is going to be inevitable? And we know for a fact that that&#8217;s not the case,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incremental things such as managing stress, moving more, working with a health professional to understand your risk and to control high blood pressure and to manage cardiovascular disease risk can go a long way, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While exercising is shown to be clinically beneficial, he continued, taking a 10-minute walk everyday and taking moments to practice healthy eating and active living contributes to improvements in one&#8217;s heart health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker Daniels is the CDC representative for the Live to the Beat campaign, which is led by CDC Foundation and the Million Hearts initiative and pushes people to take steps to prevent heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not a coincidence that the first word in our campaign is live because we don&#8217;t want people to continue to call attention to what people already know, that heart disease and stroke can be deadly and disabling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that there are things that you can do to live and you can live to the beat of your own life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniels stressed that while not everyone has the same choices, everyone has choices and there is a way one can improve their cardiovascular health if they make smart choices. Finding those choices that make sense for individual lifestyles and circumstances is important and the campaign can help with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign provides Black and African American audiences, ages 34 to 55, with information, tools, tips and resources that normalize and promote taking heart healthy steps during the course of the life cycle, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlacks are dying at greater risk and having earlier events earlier in life, and the consequences of those events are more profound,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cSo we&#8217;re seeing increases in morbidity and in many instances, mortality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live to the Beat is an effort to \u201cget upstream of some of those forces and factors\u201d to create model images, messages and activities backed up by data and science, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Ayesha Hana Shaji is a 2022 graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, where she was on The Shorthorn
