One in Three Deaths Each Year: Are you ready to beat NZ's biggest killer
Presentation at Whangaparaoa Library, Whangaparaoa, by Trent Lash, Founder of Heartbeats Community-Led, Peer-Peer heart support group.
Heart disease kills more NZ'ers than any other condition - yet it's underfunded and the most understood. It's not just an issue for the elderly, or the stereotypical older male, younger, 'apparently healthy' Kiwis are increasingly at risk. Heartbeats has members ranging in age from 20 to 92.
You will learn:
- what actually happens in a heart attack, what is the difference with a cardiac arrest?
- why heart disease is so overlooked - and so deadly, when you don't have enough knowledge
- how to reduce your risk, at ANY age
- where you can find real support, encouragement and understanding
Whangaparaoa Library Pohutakawa Room, at 11:00am this Thursday the 31st August - it could 'change' maybe even 'save' your life!
