How To Prevent Promoting a Risky Business
Posted on 24 September 2008 by Johnetta Miner
World Heart Day 2008 - ‘Know Your Risk’ - is a call to action to help people better understand their personal risk for cardiovascular disease, including hypertension (high blood pressure). It will be held on Sunday, 28 September. Heart health screening and other activities for the public are being planned in over one hundred countries worldwide.
Risky Business: The Importance of Prevention & Wellness Coaching
It is a known fact that more women die of heart disease than cancer. So why do we, as women,. risk our lives by not consistently practicing preventive measures?
The Earth Times reported that a “new survey of men and women
age 40 and older in the United States revealed a significant gap between
people’s desire to avoid taking risks with their health, and the percentage
who knowingly skip critical health screenings. Overall, 60 percent indicated
they weren’t risk takers with their health. Yet, 25 percent of those who think they play it safe admitted to skipping routine mammograms or prostate cancer screenings, with 30 percent skipping colonoscopies and other screenings after the age of 50.
The new survey results were released in conjunction with the World
Heart Federation’s World Heart Day 2008, a global advocacy campaign aimed at
increasing public awareness and promoting the use of preventive measures to
reduce the incidence of CVD. World Heart Day 2008 will be observed on
Sunday, 28 September. This year’s theme - “Know Your Risk” - focuses on
improving understanding of personal risk for cardiovascular disease, including
hypertension. As part of the campaign, heart health screening and other
activities for the public are being planned in over 100 countries worldwide.”
