Walking, healthy eating can provide solutions to heart disease and have much less problems in the future with prevention. Try to improve your diet a little. Don’t miss an opportunity for exercise, now the future of our children is being built. I thank the Mayor, the Municipality, the Jeanne D’Arc, the PA Olympiakos and the Medical. “
