                                            Black History Month is a time to honour culture, celebrate resilience, and spotlight important health conversations ๐ง ๐ฌ
๐ฏ Did you know? People of Black African & Caribbean heritage in the UK are more likely to develop:
๐ฉบ Type 2 diabetes
๐ข High blood pressure (hypertension)
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน And face a higher risk of heart disease, kidney issues & stroke
But knowledge = power ๐ก๐ช

๐ฝ๏ธ Eat for your heart & blood sugar (think more veggies, less salt!)
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Move that body daily
๐งช Get regular checks - blood pressure & diabetes screenings can be life-saving
๐ซฑ๐พโ๐ซฒ๐ฝ Talk to your family - sharing this info could change lives
