29th
September – World Heart Day.
Heart- vital
for living life to the full
World Heart Day was founded in 2000 to
inform people around the globe that heart diseases are the world’s leading
causes of death. It is an annual event which takes place on 29 September. Each
year’s celebrations have a different theme, reflecting key issues and topics
relating to heart health. This year the theme is creating heart-healthy
environments.
World Heart Day spreads the news that
at least 80% of premature deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be
avoided if four main risk factors – tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical
inactivity and harmful use of alcohol – are controlled.
A special assembly for grade 5 was
held where students through a small enactment were made to understand that the
risk of CVD can begin early in life because of exposure to unhealthy diets and
lack of exercise.
Students did some Zumba exercises to
mark this day.
