From the 1st to the 7th May, the Heart Foundation will be hosting Heart Week, a national heart health awareness week. What better time get outdoors and get active!
With one Australian losing their life to heart disease every 30 minutes, you can do three simple things recommended by the Heart Foundation to help keep your ticker healthy.
- Get your blood pressure measured – at home using a validated machine, at a pharmacy, or during your next doctor’s appointment.
- Calculate your heart age – using the Heart Age Calculator on the Heart Foundation website.
- Book a Heart Health Check with your doctor.

A great activity that’ll get the heart pumping and surround you with world class natural beauty, is a kayaking tour with Kanu Kapers. They offer guided and self-guided tours of the Noosa Everglades, one of only two everglade systems on Earth.
