Consider Heart Healthy Practices Part of the Rental Agreement

Written in honor of National Wear Red Day® (bringing greater attention to heart disease as a leading cause of death for Americans sponsored by the National Institute of Health).

I am not a doctor nor am I a health professional. Nevertheless, as a rabbi engaged in a non-traditional rabbinate, my work revolves around teaching that we have an obligation as Jews to prioritize healthful living as a component of our service to God (if our bodies are on loan from God, consider healthful living a part of the rental agreement).
