Heart Health ❤️

Simple ways to look after your heart health:

❤️ Move your body
Keep your heart muscle strong with regular exercise! Gym, walks or even swimming!

Stress can spike your heart rate, aim to minimise stress as best as you can. Meditation and deep breathing can be key but find what works for you.

Apply SPF everyday if you're spending time outdoors
Reapply every two hours , especially if you are swimming or sweating☀️
