February is American Heart Month and for a good reason, we need to be reminded of ways to show our heart the love it needs and deserves. Did you know that the human heart pumps nearly 2,000 gallons of blood throughout the body every day? This allows oxygen to travel throughout our body so all of our organs can thrive and we can go about our day to day activities. This is something we completely take for granted… unless you … continued…
