Having a healthy heart is important for your health.

Some people do not have healthy hearts.

Kensington and Chelsea council wants to help people have healthy hearts.

If you are aged 40 to 74 you can book a free NHS Health Check.

To book a health check you can ask your doctor or GP.

At the health check they check your heart is healthy.

They do this by measuring:

- how tall you are
- how much you weigh
- your blood pressure

At your NHS health check you might do a blood test

They will ask you questions about what you do.

They might ask you:

- if you drink alcohol
- if you smoke
- if anyone in your family has heart problems
- how much exercise you do

After your health check they will tell you how healthy your heart is.

They will tell you how you can make your heart more healthy.

The council wants to help you have a healthy heart.
