Last month where I work dedicated the whole month to make people aware of how to look after their heart

Heart
The Heart Not Working

Heart disease is dependent on two factors:-

  • non-modifiable risk factors
  • modifiable risk factors

Modifiable risk factors include elements that we cannot change such as age, family history and ethnicity. Modifiable risk factors include:-

  • Type Two Diabetes
  • High Cholesterol
  • Tobacco
  • Excessive alcohol
  • Overweight
  • High Blood Pressure

What can you do about it? Look into these steps:-

  • Get a regular check-up with your doctor
  • Be active – 150 minutes of good activity per week – build it up in blocks daily
  • Quit smoking – get help to stop!
  • Eat a nutritional, balanced diet. If you need help, ask your doctor to refer you to a support group
