Male Interviewer: Here's an important heart healthy tip from one of the heart experts at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center.



Dr. Junaid Khan: I'm Dr. Junaid Khan. As a heart surgeon, I tell my patients that we all have some stress in our lives, but too much stress can affect your heart. When you feel stress, your heart can race and your blood pressure increases. A few great stress reducers include exercise, meditation, a pet and hobbies. These can all make a positive difference in your life and help keep your heart healthier.



Interviewer: This heart healthy tip is brought to you by Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, a member of the Sutter Health family.
