Going through the last year (2020), we got the uncountable sad news of people being passed away due to “heart attack”. Covid19 emerged with the drastic change in millions of lives. It even wreaks extreme havoc for people suffering from heart diseases. Being a major disease, heart attack affects most people around the world. Regardless of age, heart diseases have taken away the lives of an abundance of people. Shaking the hearts of people with their near and dear ones suffering from heart pain, cardiac arrest is one of the major fatal diseases. Right from young adults to elder ones are falling as the victims of heart diseases. As we could see, the demise of young actors and people due to cardiac arrest can shudder our hearts. The rising deaths as fallen for traps of heart diseases should be concerned at least on this World Heart Day 2021.
THE HISTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF WORLD HEART DAY:
Looking into World Heart Day, its history dated back to 1999 when the World Heart Federation collaborated with the World Health Organisation (WHO). It was pronounced by the president of WHF (1991 -2011), Antoni Bayes de Luna. Initially, the last Sunday of September was announced and celebrated as World Heart Day as the first celebration marked on the 24th of September 2000. The emerging death cases due to heart diseases can be controlled with a healthy diet and physical activity. It is always a good idea to ditch the idea of eating junk or unhealthy foods often.
As per the World Heart Federation, it put forth “World Heart Day informs people around the globe that CVD, including heart disease and stroke, is the world’s leading cause of death claiming 18.6 million lives each year, and highlights the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control CVD. It aims to drive action to educate people that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, at least 80% of premature deaths from heart diseases and stroke could be avoided.” Not to mention, the well-maintained healthy cholesterol and blood pressure level can help an individual to reduce the risk of suffering from heart diseases.
THE THEME FOR WORLD HEART DAY 2021:
World Heart Day comes with the theme to protect and enhance the health of the heart thereby creating awareness of the heart’s importance. This year (2021), World Heart Federation comes with “Use Heart To Connect”. It throws light on an individual’s knowledge and support to take care of their dear ones thereby improving their heart’s health. So, A Healthy and Happy Heart means A Healthy, Long Mortal Life!
