In honor of National Wear Red Day for Heart Disease on Friday, Feb. 2, SRA organized a Hands-Only CPR course for our team, equipping them with essential skills for giving CPR. Did you know when a person goes into cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediate CPR from someone nearby? CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival and with proper training, you could be the difference for someone in danger. #FunFact: During CPR, you can maintain the correct compression rate of 100 to 120 per minute by syncing it with some of your favorite tunes. Check out a few selections from our playlist: 🎶 “Billie Jean” – Michael Jackson: 117 bpm 🎶 “Ice Ice Baby” – Vanilla Ice: 116 bpm 🎶 “All Star” – Smash Mouth: 104 bpm Find the rest of the playlist at https://lnkd.in/d3wWxnsB. Get trained, be the difference!

How are you protecting your 💗 health this month? This resonates with me today as a close friend is undergoing a catheterization procedure 😔 in the operating room, and her husband experienced a heart attack 💔 just a month ago. Schedule your yearly wellness visit with your primary care physician, and don't hesitate to discuss any symptoms, no matter how minor they may seem, as they could signify something more significant. Take these five proactive steps you can take today to enhance your heart health: 🚶♂️ Prioritize Physical Activity: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Incorporate activities like brisk walking, cycling 🚵♂️ , or swimming 🏊♀️ to get your heart pumping and strengthen cardiovascular health. 🥗 Adopt a Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins 🦐 , and healthy fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and oily fish. Limit intake of saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars. 🚭 Quit Smoking: If you smoke, take steps to quit today. Smoking damages blood vessels, increases blood pressure, and raises the risk of heart disease. Seek support from healthcare professionals, smoking cessation programs, or support groups to help you quit for good. 🧘♀️ Manage Stress: Chronic stress can take a toll on your heart health. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or spending time in nature. Finding healthy ways to manage stress can lower blood pressure and improve overall heart health. 😴 Get Sufficient Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Poor sleep habits have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other health conditions. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, maintain a consistent sleep schedule, and create a comfortable sleep environment to promote restorative sleep. By incorporating these lifestyle changes into your daily routine, you can take proactive steps towards improving your heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems in the future.

🔴 Personal Commitment to Heart Disease Awareness 🔴 Every 33 seconds, heart disease claims a life in the U.S. This isn't just a public health statistic—it's a personal call to action for me. As someone living with a heart conduction issue, I understand the challenges and the importance of heart health on a deeply personal level. I'm passionate about raising awareness, promoting healthy lifestyles, and advocating for research. Because for me, and for many others, the fight against heart disease is not just a cause, it's a daily journey. Join me in making heart health a priority. Your heart might skip a beat, but let's not skip the chance to spread awareness. #HeartHealth #DiseasePrevention

Growing up in the North Rugby League was in my blood, I remember pestering my dad for months to let me go watch his beloved Hull FC at the Boulevard Ground. The minute I stepped in I was captivated, the rickety old turnstiles, the paint chipped from the terraces and lush green grass got me hooked - I had found my church ⛪ ! But what I loved the most was how much people loved the game, not just their own team but an admiration for up and coming talent on both sides, exceptional ball handling skills or a 40:20 kick on the last.... it was heady stuff. But the biggest love of all was that Rugby League was a community itself, part of the fabric of northern life, woven invisibly into conversations at Sunday Lunch, at the core of factory work banter or analysed kick by kick- pass by pass in the pub. As it was announced last night that the incredible Rob Burrow had passed away, it got me thinking about how Rob's journey with MND. Not only did it showcase the incredible strength of the Rugby League Community but the resilience of the man himself - his values and his approach we could all learn so much from. Love: Loving what you do, the people in your life - it matters immensely. Life is precious and far too short to filling your time with the stuff that you do not enjoy. I know it sounds simple, but be conscious in your decision making and really as yourself is this something that I love? 😍 Friendship : In life we all need allies, the people who will be part of our troop - create the space safes to be our authenticate self and keep picking us up when we are rock bottom and celebrating your success. Rob's relationship with Kevin Sinfield has been widely publicised, but only true friends would do what Kev did for Rob 💓 Taking the Path of Most Resistance 🏔: Sometimes taking the easiest route out of a problem or overcoming a challenge feels like an appealing option. But to break new ground, to achieve greatest impact the hard stuff wins. There is no doubt in my mind that Rob lived 5 years post diagnosis by not taking the easy option. Creating a Burning Platform 🔥: When Rob was diagnosed with MND he was determined with use it for a force of good, raising millions of £ to aid better research, campaigning and services for people diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease I will certainly be keeping this in my mind when working with The Community Navigator 🗺 clients this week... So next time you feel you need to mix things up lets chat.... lets all be a little bit more Rob! Sending lots of love to the Burrow Family and the wider Rugby League Community 💙 💛
