September is World Heart Month

This year the campaign is focusing upon stroke prevention.  Over 2,000 people under 65 have a stroke each year, but the good news is that 80% of premature strokes are preventable.  By making small changes to your lifestyle you can reduce your chances of having a stroke both now and in the future.  Find out what you can do to avoid having a stroke by visiting: www.irishheart.ie/campaigns/strike-stroke

World Heart Month encourages us all to become more aware of our heart health and reduce our risk of heart disease. LAYA Healthcare have provided some tips on achieving a healthy heart.
