We start by determining new members' heart age and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease risk estimate, give medical, dietary and fitness advice then help them achieve a set healthy heart target through proper follow up and monitoring.
What is Heart Age and how can I determine mine?
First, there is chronological age which is your actual physical age, then your heart age which represents the condition of your heart e.g. your real age might be 35 years and if you have a healthy heart, your heart age might be as good as 18years, and if the case is different you might have a heart age of 65years.
To know your age, a physician will ask some question and run certain tests that will be used in calculating it.
What is ASCVD Risk Estimator?
Ans: It is called Atherosclerotic Cardio Vascular Disease estimator, this will show the risk a person will have of getting a heart attack over a period of 10 years.
Guys, heart disease is the number 1 killer in both men and women, accounting for 1 in every 4 deaths. It does not necessarily give or show signs. Please get your heart health checked!!

But all these had been over thirty-five years ago. They grown and become men. Garba had turned out to be the star of them all, having excelled in school and had gone to Lagos and then to England. He returned to Dongongari and settled down. Now all the boys who went to the St. Aquinas now have children. But they all still sit together on weekends and talk of the past. Mr. Jacob and the forbidden fruits was always an exciting topic and they would laugh. "Only God know where the white master is today," Sule would say with nostalgia. "Perhaps long dead and buried," Tanko would say. "But he was a terror," Bawa reminded. He had succeeded. his father as the tobacco merchant in ,Jogongan even though he was once a banker. Garba would laugh. "Come to think of it, he was a good man. The lesson of the forbidden fruits was that of obedience. We ought to have obeyed him as our elder and teacher," he said: They all agreed with him. The End ....
