Nicci Dent, CEO of Heart Research Australia, talking about REDFEB. This February is REDFEB, Heart Research Australia’s heart awareness month, dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease and encouraging Australians to wear red and donate to fund vital research. Millions of Australians are at risk of heart disease, but fewer realise that keeping their heart healthy can also help protect their brain, memory, and cognitive function, reducing the risk of conditions like dementia as they age. With cardiovascular disease affecting more than 4 million Australians and remaining the leading cause of death, it’s not just your heart at stake — your brain health depends on it too. Steps You Can Take: The 4-M Approach – As part of REDFEB, Heart Research Australia’s heart awareness month, their 4-M Approach encourages Australians to take small, simple steps that can benefit both their heart and brain health: Meals, Movement, Measurement and Mental Wellness.
