Heart disease is the number one killer amongst women living in Germany, not cancer as most people would presume. This is what I learned at the Coke Light Hör auf dein Herz Campus an initiative supported by Coke Light.
With the right diet and a good amount of sports each week you all can contribute to the health of your own heart. I enjoyed the day at the campus since it was a good mix of information and learning by doing. The interactive cooking lessons with those cute guys (who actually have their own restaurant here in Berlin) and a bit of sports with a personal trainer, the medical check up (can't wait to receive my results and find out what my heart is like) and talks with Palina Rojinski, Nadja Uhl and experts all contributed to a good day where I did learn a lot.
Coke Light is having a donation campaign. You can help by using the hashtag #zeigeHerz on pictures with heart motives on instagram. For every picture submitted Coke Light donates 1€. I've already submitted 2 pics. You can check them out on

Although heart failure and diseases are something that affect old age, it's now that we're still young we can make a difference for later.
As my mom always says
"Prevention is better than cure." And I'm starting to get the gist of it.
