Bermudians have been reminded to monitor their heart health as the country continues to battle an obesity and diabetes crisis.
Fountain Health reignited the warning in light of American Heart Month, which focuses on cardiovascular care.

A hormonal medication contributes very little to women developing breast cancer, according to a physician.
Annabel Fountain, from Fountain Health, challenged the belief that a link exists between the disease and Hormonal Replacement Therapy throughout October, which was both breast cancer and menopause awareness month.
