🫀 Hey all — if you care about your heart health (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), this one’s for you. Check out this essential article from the Heart Foundation: “COVID‑19 and cardiovascular disease”.
👉 Read it here: heartfoundation.org.au/your-heart/cov…
Why it’s worth your time:
•People with heart disease face much higher risk of serious complications if they get COVID-19.
•COVID-19 isn’t just a lung issue — it can cause inflammation throughout the cardiovascular system, and trigger conditions like irregular heartbeat, heart attack or stroke.
•It gives actionable advice: vaccines, staying active, eating for heart health, staying connected with your doctor.
•It reminds us: looking after our heart isn’t just about “one day” — the pandemic has changed what “staying healthy” means.
💡 What you can do today:
•If you’ve got heart disease — book that COVID-19/flu vaccine booster.
•Move your body. Even 10 minutes/day helps.
•Eat with purpose: pick that extra serving of veggies, swap out the processed snack. Your heart will thank you.
•Don’t postpone that “just in case” appointment or ignore odd symptoms. The article stresses seeking help if things worsen.
