“Know your risk” is the theme of this year’s World Heart Day, being observed on Sept 28. This day is a call to action, to help, to achieve the longer and better life, through prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension.
There are no obvious symptoms of high blood pressure, and the only way to know is to visit your healthcare professional for a checkup. That’s why this year’s World Heart Day will be urging people to ‘know your risk’.
The world’s No.1 enemy (heart disease and stroke) kills 17.5 million people each year. The figures given by researchers show that by 2025 more than 1.5 billion people will have high blood pressure.
To register a protest against the world’s No.1 killer (hypertension), we all have to take a significant step towards the prevention of our life being affected by hypertension. It is our lifestyle and culture which seems to be contributing to our risk of developing heart diseases and stroke.
Many of us are not aware of how to prevent a heart disease and this unawareness is one of the causes of its increasing risk. To prevent a heart disease and stroke, take regular exercise, say no to smoking, and have a healthier diet, low in salt and fat and rich in fibers, fresh vegetables and fruits.
We should unite to support the World Heart Day together and register an act to help the people by educating them about heart diseases and their prevention.
