đź”…WORLD HEART DAY 2026
DON’T MISS A BEAT
Today, 29 September, the Dietitians Association of Nigeria joins the global community to mark World Heart Day 2026, themed “Don’t Miss a Beat.”
Cardiovascular health is influenced by many of our everyday choices. An adequate diet, regular physical activity, avoiding to***co, and keeping track of important health indicators such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids can all help reduce cardiovascular risk.
🥗 Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and other nutrient-dense foods in your diet, while being mindful of excessive salt, unhealthy fats, added sugars and highly processed foods.
🩺 Know your numbers, pay attention to unusual or persistent symptoms, and seek appropriate medical care when needed.
As we mark World Heart Day, we encourage all DAN State Chapters and Dietitians across various centres to ensure that your health talks and nutrition education activities throughout this week reflect practical messages on cardiovascular health and prevention.
Let’s keep the conversation going and help more people make informed choices for healthier lives.
