To live in good health for as long as possible, make yourself want to take care of yourself!

Take care of yourself
A healthy lifestyle and regular medical check-ups reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 80%.

Be particularly vigilant when you accumulate several cardiovascular risk factors: heredity, smoking, physical inactivity, overweight-obesity, stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, contraception with synthetic estrogens...

These preventive health tips are simple yet essential. No prohibitions, just ideas to keep in mind to feel good and live better.

To bring them to life with enthusiasm, we asked artist Clod to illustrate them in her dynamic, colorful world.

You're going to tell us that you already know these tips, but that you find it hard to put them into practice on a daily basis... Don't worry, we're just like you! That's why we want to give prevention a positive image, so that it evokes pleasure rather than constraint.

Adopt the strategy of small, quick steps, do a little every day, without wanting to go too fast. And above all, reserve a little time for yourself
With Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes, together we're building tomorrow's prevention, making you want to take care of yourself.
