The Dramatic, Heartfelt Finale of The Biggest Loser

This is it folks, the night we’ve all been waiting for—the live season finale of The Biggest Loser. As you get ready to find out who is, in fact, the biggest loser, why not consider making some heart healthy changes in your own life? Exercising and controlling your weight is one of the best ways to lower your risk of coronary heart disease (CHD)—the number one killer for men and women in the U.S. Regular physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy heart, but you don’t have to be an athlete to reap the rewards. Getting a moderate amount of exercise most days of the week will lower your risk for heart disease and help maintain a healthy weight. Ask your doctor how much and what kind of exercise is right for you.

The emotional transformations of all of the contestants on this season of The Biggest Loser provide a great example of the power of exercise. With a combined weight loss of more that 1,800 pounds, they show us how successful we can be when we put our minds to staying healthy. The winner of First Lady Michelle Obama’s PALA Challenge will also be announced. You won’t want to miss it!

A Show Your Heart Will Love

Did you know that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States? It doesn’t have to be! Many cases of heart disease can be prevented. By making just a few simple lifestyle changes, you can lower your risk of developing CHD and help protect your heart for a lifetime.

Eating a heart-healthy diet is one of the most important facets of overall wellness. Consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and avoiding foods that are high in sodium, saturated fats, and sugar promotes heart health. Such a diet can help control blood cholesterol levels and prevent high blood pressure, overweight, and diabetes—all risk factors for heart disease.

With the issuance of the Heart Heath (Forever®) stamp in February, the U.S. Postal Service has committed to making 2012 a heart healthy year. That’s why we’ve teamed up with NBC’s The Biggest Loser.
