Vacations, festivals, and parties can make drinking seem like part of the season. But just because it feels common doesn't mean it's safe.

Alcohol can:
💔 Impair judgment and decision-making
💔 Increase risky behaviors
💔 Raise the risk of accidents and injuries
💔 Raise the risk of diseases, including heart disease

Hot weather makes it even riskier. Alcohol promotes dehydration and makes it harder for your body to regulate its temperature, increasing the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Stay hydrated, look out for your friends, and make choices that help you enjoy the summer safely.

For many people, living with congenital heart disease doesn’t stop after childhood surgery. It often continues into adulthood, with ongoing monitoring, further procedures, and/or lifelong medication still part of their care journey.

The #WorldHeartReport 2026 highlights this lifelong reality and the need for stronger support for everyone living with CHD ❤️

1 in 3 deaths among women are caused by cardiovascular disease. Yet women are still too often misdiagnosed, with heart disease symptoms overlooked or mistaken for anxiety.

At our #WHA79 side-events in May, we explored the critical link between women and heart health. Dr Taskeen Khan explained that the tendency to attribute women’s physical complaints to mental illness has its roots in the history of ‘hysteria’.

We only have one planet to call home, just as we only have one heart to carry us through life.

Every choice we make leaves a mark on our health and the Earth, so let's try to treat both more gently: what we consume, what we waste, how we show up in the world. It doesn't have to be perfect! Just more conscious and more caring.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay ❤️
