Simple, trustworthy guidance for natural everyday wellbeing.

Heart health is supported by everyday choices: varied food, less salt and highly processed food, regular movement, no tobacco and proper management of blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol.
Build meals around vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains and suitable protein foods. Reduce highly processed foods, excess salt, saturated fat and added sugars. Small repeated changes are easier to maintain than a complete overnight reset.
Work towards at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week if it is safe for you. Brisk walking, cycling and active household work can contribute. Add strengthening activity when suitable.
Smoking and other tobacco exposure increase cardiovascular risk. If you use tobacco, ask a qualified clinician about practical quitting support instead of relying on willpower alone.
