This year, the Heart Foundation is focusing on families affected by heart disease.
More Australians die from heart disease than from any other cause and tear families apart. Life-saving research funded by the Heart Foundation gives many Australians a second chance in life and keeps families together.
The money raised will help fund life-saving research and keep more families together.
The Heart Foundation helps prevent heart disease through a variety of activities, including funding high-impact research, including research into rare and lesser-known diseases.
They also develop evidence-based guidelines for health professionals and provide support for people with heart disease.
Every day 50 Australians lose their lives to heart disease, making them the leading cause of death in Australia.
Heart disease, while a leading cause of health problems and death, is often preventable.
The Heart Foundation is dedicated to improving the heart health of all Australians by promoting heart healthy diets, spending more time being active, being smoke-free, and understanding and controlling your cholesterol and blood pressure.
To donate to the Heart Foundation, visit givewithheartday.com.au to donate online or call 13 11 12.
Bad diet is one of the top risk factors for heart disease, but luckily, it’s also one that you can work on with the right nutritional advice. The Heart Foundation uses its heart healthy diet principles for a healthy heart.
This includes eating more vegetables and fruit and switching to whole grain products, as well as choosing unflavored milk, yogurt and cheese.
They also recommend making healthy fat choices like omega-3 and omega-6 fats, which are obtained from olive oil, avocado, peanut, and sunflower oils. Using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor your food is also a big plus and you should try using water as the drink of your choice
