Today is World Heart Day and cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, but many of its risk factors are in your control.

One major risk - Physical inactivity.
One powerful solution - Movement at any age.

As prehospital professionals, we’re often first on the scene. But what if we could help prevent the emergency altogether?
Take control now for your own heart, for your patients, and for the next generation.
Encourage active lifestyles early. No matter what age you are, movement matters. Check out these simple infographics from the American Heart Association (AHA) to find ways to make movement a habit for yourself at: https://www.heart.org/-/media/Healthy-Living-Files/Infographics/Make_movement_a_habit_infographic.pdf?sc_lang=en and add movement into your children's day with the AHA's "25 Ways to Get Moving at Home" infographic: https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness/getting-active/25-ways-to-get-moving-at-home-infographic , , , , , ,
