Be fashionable - Look after your Heart
Whether you like it or not, the truth is that nearly every man on this planet has been affected by heart disease in one way or another. Heart Research charity and charity donations from so many generous individuals help raise money to continue saving lives and rescuing others; why not join in an event that suites you to show your support and help combat the financial problems surrounding this matter? Research is often expensive and that is not calculating the cost of treatment or development of such treatments!
We are told to “Love your heart.” What exactly does that mean? Sometimes, just a healthy diet is not enough. You do need to know you family history and know your risk of developing a heart disease. Make the right choices in life and follow the three simple rules as set out by the Heart Research Foundation:
1. Eat healthily
2. Make sure to get regular physical activities into your daily routines
3. Do not smoke.
Simple enough if you ask me! Once you have done these things, it may be time to look into other means of contributing towards a healthier community, nation and even the world. Since your heart is well taken care of, how about we sort out the soul part? There is no better feeling in the world that one of self worth, and knowing you have done a rather good deed. Combine this with the fact that you may actually contribute in saving another life whilst actually having fun and keeping your own heart in shape, and you have a winning recipe.
One becomes spoiled for choice when you start looking into the paraphernalia and activities in aid to the cause. Wrist bands, ribbons, setting up your own sponsorship web page or simple donations are at the top of the list. Even men’s fashion has been affected with Damart creating clothing that is specially designed for the Heart Research Campaign and a portion of the profits go towards researching heart disease.
Should you be more active in nature, there are so many more events to choose from as you embark on this journey of selfless giving. Combine your overseas holiday with a great challenge too in exotic places like the Great wall of China, the Grand Canyon or even Peru! Let’s not forget the local mini-marathons, walks and challenges. Of course, if you are more into a bit of glitz and glamour, you can definitely help by attending a black-tie fund raiser. Better yet, organize one within your company.
By opening up your heart and soul to this particular case, you can help in giving better equipment, better treatment, better understanding and better standards of life to the hospitals, professionals and those in need of the help.
No matter who you are, or how much you contribute, there is always a scientist at the receiving end who is grateful for the ability to continue his work. There is always a person who is grateful for the pacemaker that was invented, or a clot-buster.
And if you are in any doubt as to what to do, why to contribute or how you can make a difference, then remember that there are loads of information that you can get from your local GP or online at www.bhf.org.uk
