What can I do to look after my heart?

We are living in unprecedented times. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death on earth. Four out of 5 cardiovascular disease deaths are due to heart attacks and stroke. One-third of these deaths occur prematurely in people below 70 years of age. We don’t know what course the pandemic will take in the future but we do know that taking care of our hearts right now is more important than ever.

On the occasion of the world heart day, the theme for this year is to use the heart to beat cardiovascular diseases. Use heart is about using your head, your influence, and your compassion for society, your loved ones, and you. Today I want to remind you that the health of your heart is absolutely in your hand.
