𝐻𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑒’𝓈 𝒟𝒶𝓎♥️

Ang rosas, kapag nalanta, ay napapalitan.
Ang tsokolate, kapag naubos, ay nabibili.
Pero ang puso ay iisa lang —
kaya alagaan araw-araw.

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, responsible for about 17.9 million deaths (32%) each year. The Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA) reported that ischemic heart disease was the top cause of death in 2025, with 40,532 cases (20%) nationwide.

The good news: most heart diseases are preventable through a healthy lifestyle. This Philippine Heart Month, remember—it's never too late to start making choices for a healthier, stronger heart. ❤️

To have a healthy heart, here are some tips guided by the World Health Organization (2020):
✅Eat a balanced and nutritious diet
✅Maintain a healthy weight
✅Stay active—aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise each week
✅Avoid smoking
✅Limit or avoid alcohol intake
✅Regularly monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar

Small steps today can lead to a stronger, healthier heart tomorrow. ❤️
