Thank you for your support with my month-long DECHOX! My page donations will be sent direct to the British Heart Foundation in a fast and secure way. Your support will help beat heartbreak from the world's biggest killers. Conditions like heart diseases, stroke and vascular dementia. Your support funds research that helps to keep families together.
It’s #NationalHeart Month ❤ and to help raise awareness I'm doing a DETOX challenge....... I'm going to give up chocolate.......Yes you read it right, 1 whole month, 31 days - that's 44,640 minutes.
May sound easy but it's not just about not eating chocolate it means no COCOA so any foods that contain traces of chocolate, cocoa powder is off limits and doing a triple whammy by also giving up fizzy drinks and all types of sweets.
Why am I doing this - Heart Disease is one of UK's biggest killers, did you know on average today in the UK;
- 460 people will die from a heart or circulatory disease.....
- More than 120 of those people will be under the age of 75.....
- There are 7.4 million people living with a heart or circulatory disease
- There are 280 hospital admissions on a daily basis which are attributed to a heart attack
- 180 people will die from coronary heart disease.....
- Heart defects are diagnosed in at least 1 in 150 births – that's an average of 13 babies each day in the UK
I want to help and do my bit by raising money via donations for the British Heart Foundation to further support and aid the research into heart disease.
