  ❤️ World Heart Day 2026: Don’t Miss a Beat    Nourish Your Heart, Protect Your Future By Saranya – Dietician, Nutrition Educator, Diabetes Educator      Your heart beats thousands of times every day—quietly working from the moment you are born. But how often do you actually think about your heart?      We often pay attention to our heart only when a problem occurs.
