But whenโ€™s the last time you checked in on ๐˜ช๐˜ต?

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for Australian men โ€” yet so much of it can be prevented with a few simple habits:

๐Ÿฉบ Getting regular blood pressure and cholesterol checks
๐Ÿšถ Moving your body each day (even a walk around the block helps)
๐Ÿฅ— Eating more fresh, whole foods and cutting down on salt
๐Ÿ˜ด Resting well and managing stress

Sometimes life gets busy and health takes a back seat โ€” we get it.
But prevention starts with small steps and one conversation with your GP.
