In the talk "Whole Health & the Heart: Caring for Women Veterans Across the Lifespan - Why Lifestyle, Connection, and Meaning Matter," participants will explore three main ideas. First, they will understand the impact of lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and stress management on cardiovascular health, specifically for women veterans. Second, they will recognize the importance of social connections and community support in positively affecting cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Lastly, they will delve into the role of personal meaning and purpose in health outcomes, learning how fostering a sense of purpose can lead to improved heart health and overall well-being for women veterans throughout their lifespan.
