Heart diseases are one of the UK’s top killers, behind only dementia in the most common causes of death.There are more than 100,000 hospital admissions every year for heart attacks and another 100,000 for strokes. The best ways to keep your heart healthy are to eat a balanced diet, stay a healthy weight, exercise regularly and avoid smoking.The FAST method – which stands for Face, Arms, Speech, Time – is the easiest way to remember the most common symptoms of stroke:=Face drooping - if one side of a person's face is dropped or numb then ask them to smile, if it's uneven then you should seek help.=Arm weakness - if one arm is weak or numb then you should ask the person to raise both arms.
