A week of responsible attitude towards heart health

From September 28 to October 4, 2026, the Week of Responsible Heart Care will be held (in honor of World Heart Day on September 29). World Heart Day is held under the motto “Heart – for Life!” The main goal is to raise public awareness about the dangers of heart disease and preventive measures to prevent it and reduce mortality. The heart is the most important organ in the human body. The health and life expectancy directly depend on the condition of the cardiovascular system. It is necessary to take care of the heart from a young age. It is necessary to maintain moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week, eat a balanced diet, and monitor blood pressure, heart rhythm, and lipid profile.

 To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to adopt a rational approach to your lifestyle:

• it is important to maintain a high level of physical activity;

• to follow a proper daily routine and diet;

• not to overindulge in fatty, fried, or heavy foods, especially at night;

• to maintain a healthy body weight and give up bad habits.

Regular consumption of alcoholic beverages leads to impaired functioning of the heart muscle. Nicotine changes the condition of the vascular wall. Therefore, it is important to give up bad habits. Heart health is in your hands. The heart is given to us for life! Try to help your heart every day, and it will be grateful to you!
