How healthy is your heart

September 29,World heart day.
So,How Healthy is your heart??

Heart choices are not hard choices.
Healthy heart choices for everyone everywhere.
Heart day is part of an international campaign to spread awareness about heart disease and stroke prevention.

The heart is the pumping machine behind our bodies. If it fails then the body is in trouble. Care and conscious steps must be taken to live with healthy hearts.
This year, World Heart Day’s theme is CREATING HEART-HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS. The conditions in which we live, work and play should not increase our risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). But individuals frequently have to make heart-healthy choices.
Of importance is healthy food. I am a proponent of Low salt, Low fat and oils,No sugar food options.
I am a firm believer in the miracle of exercise.
I believe in lifestyle modifications for long life.
I believe in no smoking to improve heart health.

Once you are 18yrs and above I recommend you see a family physician and get your blood pressure checked. Don't just check your blood pressure one of,but regularly. Find out the state of your heart. The stories we hear of apparently healthy young people who die suddenly or collapsed suddenly is on the rise in Nigeria. There is stress,yes but you also have a responsibility to yourself and to your heart.
