National Heart Month, observed throughout February, is dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and the importance of preventing heart disease.

This month is all about encouraging proactive steps to maintain a healthy heart. From eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly to understanding risk factors and seeking medical advice, there are many ways to protect your heart. Cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, are leading causes of death globally, making National Heart Month a crucial time for education, awareness, and lifestyle changes.

Heart disease affects millions worldwide, but the good news is that many heart-related conditions can be prevented or managed with the right lifestyle choices. During National Heart Month, healthcare organizations, charities, and community groups come together to spread knowledge about heart health, run fundraising events, and provide support to those affected by heart disease.
