start your heart day

Related imageOn Wednesday the 18th of October we had an open room where clients had the option of coming in and listening. We discussed matters of the heart particularly to do with the health of your heart and stroke prevention. We held it in order to increase awareness of the role each person  has in maintaining each persons heart health.
In order to make clients aware we discussed what the heart looked like, how it works, what we can avoid to maintain a healthy heart, what disorders can affect your heart and what we can do to keep our hearts healthy.
Here in Cherryfield we encourage good health by running many different forms of exercise sessions for example aerobics, walking group, tai chi and yoga. We also have a chef who prepares healthy option food menus.
As the talk drew to close, Susan gave a demonstration on CPR and what to do when someone takes a stroke. Susan also explained the benefits of a defibrillator and its location within the centre(at the top of the staircase above the water cooler).
