What is assessed?
Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, smoking and family history all contribute to an assessment of cardiovascular risk. Menopause can be an opportunity to review your personal health plan.
Bringing it into everyday life
Balanced eating, regular activity and stopping smoking support heart health. Consider a pattern that includes vegetables, fruit, wholegrains and suitable sources of fat. Do not stop prescribed medicines without discussing them with your doctor.
Choose your own goal
Choose one step you could take this week: a short walk, a meal plan that fits your routine or accessing support to stop smoking. You do not have to change every habit at once.
See it from your own perspective.
- What small step could I choose for heart health this week?
- What would make a habit I want to change easier to sustain?
Atlas points reflect learning steps, not your health.
