Human and Heart

Many would ask why human and heart? Why not health and heart? Why not health and human? The reason why we chose 'Human and Heart' as our blog link because, we want to create awareness among people about heart. Why not Health and human? We are talking about heart and it covers a wide topic not just about health, its about our important organ. And why not health and human? We think 'Heart and Human' sounds better than health ;] Yeah, it seems to be cliche as it sounds.


Throughout the blog, we are hoping that our blog will motivate people with whatever interests they may have in improving their living conditions. Our aim is to develop in them a sense of responsibility for health conditions for themselves as individuals, as members of families, and as communities. In communicable control, our blog commonly includes an appraisal of what is known by a population about a disease, an assessment of habits and attitudes of the people as they relate to spread and frequency of the disease, and the presentation of specific means to remedy observed deficiencies.
Lets keep our fingers cross that this blog will be an effective tool that helps improve health in developing nations and re-shape everyday habits of people with unhealthy lifestyles in developing countries. People become more aware of information relating to the disease, rather than believing in just public perception. Our blog is not with how to prevent illnesses, it also provides details of how a disease works, which may dispel some myths and fallacies about it in society. The HIV virus for example, can be spread through unprotected sexual intercourse, but not through activities such as kissing or touching. This also helps change a person's views towards someone infected, promoting more empathy rather than discrimination.

Because heart covers a wide topic, we decided to choose Cardiovascular Disease as our main topic on this blog. Why? Because, Cardiovascular Disease or CVD are the world's largest killers, claiming 17.1 million lives a year. Estimates for the year 2006 are that 81,100,000 people in the United States have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular disease is a major worldwide public heart problem. It is the number one cause of death in industrialized countries. The global burden of cardiovascular disease can be seen from the mortality data for coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease for individual countries; the data are available at www.eatlas.idf.org/cvd. However, many take this serious issues lightly and unaware about the disease. We are aware about the situation and would like to take the essential role by giving more information to others.


Although the mind has the ability to absorb much information, until we put that information to use - that information is useless. Even those who have accredited degrees sometimes fail to use knowledge prudently. Our society has doctors who are so over weight they have difficulty in walking; we have ministers who have fallen prey to certain addictions - and so forth. So although health education is important, it's more important to use that knowledge.
