Did you also know that heart disease kills four time more women than breast cancer?

Number one !
In case you are wondering this is not a sponsored post.
Heart disease is something that has affected me my whole life.
When I was very young my father died at age 50 of heart disease.
It was a battle he fought for most of his life.
When he died he left behind a wife and eight young children.

Over the years various family members have had problems
regarding their hearts .
This might explain why I am so fiercely passionate about
the Heart Foundation and all the good work they do .

Do you know the warning signs of a heart attack ?
Would you like some information on heart health ?
I am not a doctor .
I have absolutely no connection to The Heart Foundation .
In fact I am probably not even a good role model
as I only gave up smoking last year (on the anniversary of my fathers death)
after many years of abusing my health .
But if I can get a couple of extra people to donate to ,
share or even have a look at The Heart Foundation website
I will be a very happy girl .......

......and happiness is very good for your heart .
I did not realize it was heart week. I am off to my cardiologist today though. One thin I have learnt in the last 12 months is that one should never take their health for granted and go for a general check up just to make sure things are ok PLEASE :)
