Heartbeat Moments
The heart is an organ you can hear and feel - it is one of the things with the potential to unite all of us as people. A more conscious experience of this perception is possible by reflecting on pivotal life moments when you have been aware of your heart, your life and positive emotions. Cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease, have a global dimension: these are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and are closely linked to kidney and metabolic diseases. Speak to your healthcare professional if you think you are at risk of these conditions.
