World Heart Day: Get Heart Smart
Take Responsibility for your own heart health
Cardiovascular diseases are the world’s largest killers; do you know that 17.2 million lives are lost each year due to heart disease and stroke?
80% of these deaths could have been averted merely by controlling the risk factors of heart disease.
Risk factors for heart disease and stroke include raised blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, smoking, inadequate intake of fruit and vegetables, overweight, obesity and physical inactivity.
According to statistics, 40% of those who get a heart attack die even before they make it to the hospital. Is it possible to reverse this trend?
