To mark World Heart Day on 29 September, the World Heart Federation is promoting the benefits of a healthy heart. Your heart powers your whole body - it lets you love, laugh and live your life to the full. That’s why it’s so important to look after it. If you don’t, you’re putting yourself at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart disease and stroke. CVD is the world’s number one killer.
Each year, it’s responsible for 17.5 million premature deaths, and by 2030 this is expected to rise to 23 million. But the good news is that much CVD can be prevented by making just a few simple daily changes, like eating and drinking more healthily, getting more exercise and stopping smoking. So this World Heart Day, make sure you and your family take action to keep your heart charged and make a lasting difference to your health.
