Traditionally thought as only afflicting men, heart disease among females is on the rise and with this in mind a series of seminars, titled Don’t Miss A Beat, will be held targeting women.

The seminars, which are free and organised by Flora pro.activ, the Unilever range of cholesterol-reducing spread, milk and mini-drinks, will cover healthy eating guidelines for the prevention of disease and promotion of good health as well as the advantages of physical activity.

Led by consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Alexander Manché, the first seminar will be held at the Excelsior Hotel, Valletta on Monday between 11 a.m. and 1.30 p.m.

A second seminar will be held on March 21 at the Dolmen Hotel, Buġibba between 6 and 8.30 p.m. and a third on March 28 at the Inspire Foundation, Marsascala, from 11 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.

The final session will be held on April 10 at the ME.AM Chic Women’s Expo at the Malta Fairs and Conferences Centre in Ta’ Qali between 10 and 11 a.m.

At every session, specialists will take questions from the audience and offer advice. Although attendance is free, space is limited so bookings are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

The seminars are supported by The Malta Heart Foundation, Saint James Hospital and MSV Life.

Those wishing to attend can call M&Z (Marketing) Ltd on 2148 4103/2148 9383 or e-mail info@mz.com.mt.
