How do you fancy watching your own heart attack? Sounds absolutely terrifying to me, but it certainly made me want to learn more about “the most important 2 minutes of TV you’ll ever see”. The program will air in the UK on ITV1 on Sunday 10th of August at precisely 9.17pm.
The British Heart Foundation
The short program is brought to us by The British Heart Foundation (LINK) who are a UK based charity founded in 1961 by a group of medical professionals who were very concerned about the increase of deaths caused by heart related disease.
They focus their charity efforts in 3 main areas:
- Investing in research
- Support and care for patients with heart related diseases
- Education for the public to help them to help themselves
What can you expect?
The British Heart Foundation is a very big charity, however they are being very secretive with regards to the program which is definitely making me feel all the more intrigued. Heart related disease is the biggest killer in the UK and in 2002 this disease was responsible for 39% of all the deaths in the UK. Now if that is not enough to encourage you to take your heart seriously then I don’t know what is.
What can you do?
Learning about your heart, diet and exercise is the first step on the road to prevention – and recovery if you have suffered a heart attack. However actually physically making changes to your lifestyle is the only thing that will make a real difference.
So my advice is make changes to your lifestyle: reduce your intake of trans and saturated fats to as close to zero as you can, reduce sugar intake and stimulants like coffee and stop smoking. Increase your exercise whether it be merely walking more or joining a gym and finally watch this program from the real professionals of heart health and learn more about what you can do.
