The purpose of setting up World Heart Day is to spread knowledge about heart health around the world and make the public realize that life needs a healthy heart. Heart disease is the number one killer threatening human life and health. In order to remind people, the World Heart Federation has designated the annual "World Heart Day".
The origin of World Heart Day:
The heart is the only organ that cannot rest for a moment. When human life begins to be conceived in the maternal embryo, the heart works day and night. The occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease and cardiomyopathy, makes the already overwhelmed heart worse, and seriously threatens human health and life, so as to attract public attention to cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors (hypertension, obesity, lack of exercise, nutritional imbalance, smoking, etc.). ).
The World Heart Federation designated the last Sunday of September as World Heart Day in 1999. The eternal theme of World Heart Day is "Healthy Heart, Happy Life". The purpose of doing this is to appeal to people to abandon bad eating habits and hobbies, so that everyone can have a healthy heart and enjoy a happy life.
