Although World Heart Day was observed th29th is passed Sunday, the need for continuous awareness around heart health is more vital than ever. The current state of heart health in South Africa is concerning, with cardiovascular diseases remaining one of the leading causes of death. Prevention strategies, including healthy eating, regular exercise, managing stress, and routine medical screenings, are key to reducing these risks.

In the same breath there is a common misconception that heart attacks or strokes only affect older individuals or those with unhealthy lifestyles however, even young people who lead active and healthy lives are not immune to these conditions. Factors such as genetics, stress, and undiagnosed health issues can still pose significant risks. This highlights the importance of regular check-ups and understanding your personal risk factors, no matter your age or fitness level.

Age aint nothing but a number to Heart Disease!

In long-term relationships, it's easy for partners to become too comfortable and neglect the continuous effort needed to maintain a healthy, fulfilling bond. While comfort is important, it should not lead to complacency, where emotional intimacy, communication, and romance are taken for granted. Relationships, like anything of value, require constant nurturing and growth. Failing to invest in these aspects can lead to dissatisfaction, disconnection, and eventual breakdown. A common misconception is that once a relationship is established, it will thrive on its own—but it takes intentional work to keep the spark alive.

In today’s world, divorce rates are notably higher compared to past generations, reflecting the changing dynamics of relationships. One key factor contributing to this trend is the failure to actively work on the relationship after the honeymoon phase fades. The concept of "dating your partner" in marriage becomes essential in keeping the relationship vibrant and resilient. To further unpack we are joined in studio by Linda Yende, Author, Speaker and Relationship Advisor.

PILLOW TALK: Dating in your marriage and keeping the spark in long term relationships

The last time we discussed Mpox and its spread across Africa, we focused on the signs and symptoms people should be aware of to protect themselves from this contagious virus. With cases continuing to rise, it became clear that timely intervention, including access to vaccines was critical in halting the spread and protecting vulnerable communities. Despite early warnings and growing concern, vaccine distribution has remained alarmingly scarce, further complicating efforts to control the outbreak.

In September 2024, Mpox vaccines finally arrived in Africa, yet the quantities were far from sufficient to meet the continent's needs. With an estimated 10 million doses required to halt the spread, the inadequate rollout has been a disappointing and disheartening development. This delayed response reflects the ongoing global inequities in healthcare, reminiscent of the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are joined on the line by Dr Nduduzo Dube, a leading public health expert and Director of Quality Management and Clinical Operations at AHF (AIDS Healthcare Foundation)
