Pooja Shah, best known for her roles in Eastenders, Coronation Street, Missing and Bend it Like Beckham says:

“The British Heart Foundation has many free resources available to the South Asian community which include simple steps to lead a healthier lifestyle. The truth is too many lives are lost each year to a killer which is largely preventable. We need to help each other look after our hearts now, and protect our health in the future.”

Did you know?

One in every five men and one in every six women living in the UK die from coronary heart disease, and for Indians and other people of South Asian origin, the risk is even higher.

You can make a real difference to your heart health with small lifestyle changes, eating healthily, keeping active, and being aware of what affects your risk.

What can you do to help youself and your family?
