Take the right road to a healthy heart.

On the occasion of world heart day, with the help of the media, we would like to spread awareness in the public about the right road to prevent heart disease.

As on today Heart disease is the number one killer for both men & women.

It is shocking that one in three female deaths occur due to heart disease, this is not a known fact amongst the public, who believe that heart disease is not common amongst women.

It is believed that by 2030, 23 million people will die with heart disease, which is more than the population of Australia.

It is an urgent requirement that both men & women must take action and adopt heart healthy behaviour to reduce the risk factors for themselves as well as their children.

The following measures urgently need to be taken
1. Get active
30 minutes of moderate intensely activity reduces the risk of heart disease. Promote sports in children

2. Eat a heart healthy diet.
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps prevent heart disease.
• * chose colorful fruits and limit salt intake. Use smaller portions and plates.

3. Say no to tobacco.
Quitting smoking and avoiding second hand smoke reduces risk of heart disease. Educate children on the dangers of tobacco use.

4. Know your numbers
Know your blood pressures, sugar, cholesterol and weight and bring them to normal for yourself and family. Heart Disease is avoidable and preventable.

ACT KNOW and Take the right road to save the lives of loved ones
