🌑 Today the sky reminds us that some things can be hidden in the shadows...

During an eclipse, light can disappear for a moment. But when it comes to our hearts, we cannot let heart disease go unnoticed.

#DontMissABeat. Learn the signs, know your risks, and take action for your heart.

High temperatures can put extra strain on your heart, especially if you live with health conditions. As the hot weather continues:

💧 Stay hydrated.
🌳 Keep cool and avoid the hottest part of the day.
🚶 Exercise during the cooler hours of the day.
❤️ Check in on older relatives, neighbours, and anyone at higher risk.

A few simple precautions can help protect your heart all summer long.

This summer, the tobacco and vaping industry are marketing e-cigarettes as fun, social, and part of the experience...

But vaping is not harmless.

In fact, regular e-cigarette users are almost 2 times more likely to have a heart attack than non-smokers.

Don't fall for the marketing. Choose your health over their profits.

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.
