World Heart Day is an excellent opportunity to take charge of your health! The fight against our nation’s number one killer – cardiovascular disease – can’t be limited to treatment. It must also include prevention. Regular physical activity, healthy diet, avoiding cigarettes and other tobacco products, maintaining a healthy body weight, and controlling blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugar - we call these Life's Simple 7. You can improve these seven risk factors through easy lifestyle changes to help achieve your ideal cardiovascular health.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke - that's why our mission is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Take the time this Sunday and make a commitment to yourself, your family, and your community to make lifestyle changes that will help you live your life to the fullest.
