In time for the celebration of the Philippine Heart Month, a Filipino health expert enumerated fundamental ways on how one can lessen the risk of having cardiovascular diseases.
Pursuant to Proclamation No. 1096 s. 1973, Philippine Heart Month is observed annually in February. This seeks to address the growing number of heart disease cases among Filipinos, highlighting that it should be “attended with urgency.”
This, as listed by Leachon, should be followed by proper diet and exercise with the target of “maintaining” an ideal body weight. Apart from smoking, one must also limit or even avoid drinking alcohol. A good way of life will not be complete without relaxation and meditation, but the most important is regular visits to the doctor.
As to why these are all important to follow, Leachon quoted a proverb, saying: “Health is wealth. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.”
