Last year at Zurich, 32% of all death claims and 26% of all trauma claims were as a direct result of cardiovascular disease.

Do you want better heart health?

The Heart Foundation recommends the following 5 steps for better heart health:

Step 1

Achieve and maintain a healthy weight - check your body mass index (BMI) with your doctor.

Step 2

Be physically active - the Heart Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate activity on most, if not all days of the week.

Step 3

Enjoy healthy eating - including a variety of foods from the different food groups.

Step 4

Maintain healthy blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels - speak with your doctor about getting these assessed.

Step 5

Be smoke free - quit smoking and avoid smoke from other people's cigarettes or cigars.
