Today is World Heart Day. Don’t miss a beat: your heart needs regular care. Cardiovascular disease causes about 31% of global deaths, and many of these are preventable. Take one action now — check your blood pressure, move for 30 minutes, or book a heart screening. Know the warning signs (chest pain, sudden breathlessness, sudden weakness or slurred speech) and seek emergency help immediately.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀:
- Get screened: BP, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI.
- Move: ≥30 min moderate aerobic activity on 5 days/week.
- Strength: resistance training 2 non-consecutive days/week.
- Eat: reduce salt, avoid trans fats/junk food; choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.
- Quit tobacco and limit alcohol.
- Manage stress and get quality sleep.
- Reduce exposure to air pollution where possible.

Book a quick heart screening at our clinic/pharmacy today — BP, glucose and cholesterol checks available. Ask about lifestyle counselling and smoking-cessation support.
