A healthy heart is the foundation of overall well-being. World Heart Day is intended to increase public awareness of cardiovascular diseases, including their prevention and their global impact. While often focused on the brain and spine, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of heart health. It directly impacts blood flow to your entire body, including your brain and spinal cord. Let’s prioritize heart health by making small changes: regular exercise, a balanced diet, managing stress, and regular check-ups. Remember, a healthy heart supports a healthy mind and body.
