Heart Health
Cardiovascular disease is Australia's number one killer, but at Terry White Chemists, we can help you find solutions to help prevent and manage this condition.
Cardiovascular disease includes stroke, heart disease and the narrowing or clogging of the blood vessels or arteries that can lead to severe chest pain (commonly called 'angina') or a heart attack.
The risk of developing cardiovascular disease is greater if you are male, getting older, have a family history of heart disease, have high blood pressure, are overweight or smoke. Research shows that a healthy, well-balanced diet and lifestyle, combined with regular exercise not only reduces the risk of developing heart disease, but prevents an existing condition from getting worse.
