| Your Heart Wellness Team |
| |
| At SHF, our physiotherapist will work with you on your exercise programme and our nutritionist will advise you on your diet. Smoking cessation counsellors are also available if you require assistance to quit smoking. Health talks are held twice a month by different health professionals including cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. |
| |
| The most important member of the team will, however, be YOU. No one else but yourself can make you exercise, quit smoking, or adhere to a healthy diet. |
