Understanding your heart
The heart is one of the most critical organs in our body and keeping it healthy is essential. Some conditions, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes, as well as lifestyle factors, such as unhealthy diet, obesity, physical inactivity, and alcohol and tobacco use, can put your heart at risk. Sometimes, a tendency towards heart disease can run in families. Everyone needs to be heart smart, but it is even more critical for people who have a higher risk of heart disease to be smart and look after their hearts.
