Globally during August, Heart Month is commemorated, to strengthen the alert to cardiovascular disease and its care.

Cardiovascular disease - according to WHO- are a set of heart and blood vessel disorders that represent the leading cause of death for women and men in the world (30% annually).

The good news is that most of these diseases can be prevented by changing habits that are part of the risk factors, like tobacco use, an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, obesity or harmful alcohol consumption.

In this line, throughout the month we have prepared a series of activities and surprises that will lift us from the chair of our desk, they'll have fun and they'll teach us about cardiovascular disease.

It's time we could bring about change for you., for your family and for everyone!
