Your heart is one of THE most important organs, and sometimes we need a helping hand making sure we get all our body needs.

There are a lot of risk factors for poor heart health; heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and things that we can’t change like genetics, age and gender, which puts us all at a different level of risk. A range of lifestyle factors can also play a role, including if you smoke, your exercise regularity, if you’re stressed or if you’re not getting enough sleep. Of course, having a balanced diet can help keep your heart healthier. But seriously, heart problems aren’t a joke.
