The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. - Hellen Keller  The heart is the human body's power source. Without it, the body's organs begin to die.  Who wouldn't want a heart in good health? Heart attacks are becoming increasingly common, especially among people over the age of 30. What could be the reason for this? A healthy heart must be maintained by following a heart-healthy diet, exercising, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing stress, getting adequate sleep, cutting back on alcohol use, quitting smoking, and adopting a positive outlook. A strong heart allows you to live a long and healthy life.   Every year on September 29, we mark WORLD HEART DAY to raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and promote heart-healthy living.
