Join Heart Foundation Walking groups today

“Good Health” magazine, May/2010 issue is now available in the library.  There is an interesting article “Heart disease – your 10 page guide to a healthy heart.” by Lisa Offord from page 89  to page 98.  Statistics show that heart related disease is the leading cause of deaths in Australia. This accounted for 34 percent of all deaths in 2006, almost killing one Australian every 10 minutes.  This article helps you to understand your heart, the cause of disease and  how to prevent it happening.  Also on page 100, there is a Heart Foundation ad. sponsored by the Australian Government encouraging people to join walking groups for both health and social benefits.  I hope everyone reads this article and benefits from it.
