World Heart Day, observed every year on September 29, is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about the importance of heart health. Established in 1999 by the World Heart Federation (WHF) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), this annual observance seeks to educate individuals about the risks and consequences of cardiovascular disease.
The concept of World Heart Day was inspired by Antoni Bayes de Luna, who served as WHF president from 1997 to 1999. While it was first established in 1999, the first celebration did not take place until September 24, 2000.
According to the World Heart Federation, cardiovascular disease kills more than 20.5 million people every year and the majority of these individuals are from low or middle-income countries. WHF’s primary goal is to bring this number down, as they believe 80% of deaths are avoidable. They encourage everyone to make small changes in their lifestyle, so that we can manage our heart health.
On this World Heart Day, we have compiled a few quotes that will remind employees to take care of their hearts and overall well being.
- “Your heart is not just your lifeline; it’s your quality-of-life line.”
- “Take care of your heart, and it will take care of your work.”
- “Don’t let stress steal your heart’s happiness; manage it wisely.
- “Prioritise your heart’s health, it’s the key to a successful career.”
- “Invest in your heart, and you’ll see returns in your performance.”
- “Your heart is your greatest teammate; make sure it’s always in peak condition.”
- “Work smart, but remember to work heart-healthy.”
- “Don’t break your heart over work stress; manage it for success.”
- “Let your heart lead the way to a balanced work-life equation.”
- “Work hard, but never at the cost of your heart’s well-being.”
