Do you know that February has been declared by the Office of the President as the Philippine Heart Month since 1973?
We are very glad to know that because our heart is one of the most important yet most fragile part of our body. Heart attack has been one of the most prevalent diseases in our country even though most of our population belongs to the poor bracket. I’ve also read many cases of heart diseases in young people. I believe this is because we don’t care much of our hearts. Yes, we are affectionate and caring, but physically, our hearts need much attention too.
To celebrate the Heart Month and encourage everyone to look after our family’s heart condition, I’ve scoured the internet for activities and very good reading articles you might want to check this February related to improving our hearts physically, mentally and emotionally. Feel free to download my Free Health Calendar where I embedded all these sources. Enjoy and have a healthy Heart Month!
