Have a Heart
It’s usual after Christmas to see loads of fitness dvds, diet books and healthy lifestyle programs. However, I didn’t know that February was National Heart Month – until this year.
I’ve spent February working on a campaign for the British Heart Foundation and learned loads of useful information not just about maintaining heart health but also the help that is out there if you or a loved one do have any heart concerns. For one, I was amazed at just what is a “heart concern”. Angina, diabetes, high cholesterol or blood pressure, smoking (you are 50% more likely to suffer from a serious heart condition if you smoke!) and things like family history of heart disease.
You’ve probably seen the adverts on TV this month, and I urge you to give the website a look. It’s great when you are involved in field marketing that you learn from and can actually benefit you. I gave up smoking this year and, after seeing some of the things and hearing some of the stories on this campaign, I can safely say that I’m never going to pick up another cigarette again.
