On The Today Show this Tuesday Bridget Sinnott, a Basic Life Support Co-ordinator with the Irish Heart Foundation gave us the dos and don’ts of CPR. It follows from reports that Hollywood Star Dustin Hoffman helped save a jogger’s life when he collapsed in London’s Hyde Park recently. The movie legend – who starred in a film called Accidental Hero – dialled 999 and tended to 27 year old Sam Dempster after he suffered a heart attack. As Happy Heart week is just around the corner –the Irish Heart Foundation say almost every family in Ireland has been affected by heart disease and stroke – every day 27 lives are lost to these diseases. This year the Irish Heart Foundation’s national fundraising weekend, Happy Heart Weekend falls on May 10th -12th.
Also Dr. Dilis Clare, a GP and Medical Herbalist joined the show to talk about natural herbs that can help our digestion and maintain a healthy heart. Dr. Clare was speaking in advance of a public information session next Monday – May 14th at Health and Herbs, 9 Sea Road, Galway (across from ‘The ‘Jes’, and The Crane Bar). Their will be a ‘hearty food’ demonstration with blood pressure and weigh-in check up. Admission is free and the event runs from 6.30 to 7.30pm
