🤰Lifestyle habits post-pregnancy that could save your heart🫀 🏃♀️New findings from #NUSMedicine and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health show that a history of gestational diabetes does not have to lead to heart disease. Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (#GDM) who adopted five simple lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise and healthy diet, saw up to an 86% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk.💚📉 💪Impressively, no cardiovascular events were observed among women who consistently followed all five habits over nearly 28 years. This research is a timely reminder: small, sustained changes can have lifelong impacts.🌈🤸 📍Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g2u9nYPy #NUS #GestationalDiabetes #Pregnancy #WomensHealth #Postpartum #HeartDisease #CardiovascularHealth #CardiovascularDisease #CVD #HeartHealth #Lifestyle #HealthyLongevity

Chan School of Public Health shows that women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease up to 86% - simply through sustained, healthy lifestyle choices. ✅ Maintaining a healthy weight ✅ Staying physically active ✅ Eating a high-quality diet ✅ Not smoking Over a 28-year follow-up, women who consistently practiced all five behaviors had no cardiovascular events – a powerful reminder that prevention works. Those who improved these lifestyle behaviors had reduced risk of cardiovascular events – it is never too late to make a change! As rates of chronic disease rise across Asia, this study underscores the urgent need to scale up preventive care and lifestyle-based interventions. 🧠🧑⚕️ In response, NUS Medicine has launched the first-of-its-kind 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 - designed to equip healthcare professionals with evidence-based skills to drive this critical shift toward healthier, longer lives. 🌱 Learn more about the MSc programme here: https://lnkd.in/gCDC4Pmc 📖 Read more about the study here: https://lnkd.in/ga-nek5D #PublicHealth #PreventiveMedicine #CardiovascularHealth #LifestyleMedicine #NUSMedicine #HarvardChan #Nutrition #GestationalDiabetes #HealthyAging #WomensHealth
