Hi there,

Welcome to the latest edition of In a Heartbeat. I hope you take this opportunity to read about more of the important research you’ve helped to make happen such as the latest development to protect against heart disease and diabetes.

You’ll meet HRI Senior Research Fellow, Dr Colin Tso. We answer some fitness questions to help with exercising in the winter months and, as always, there’s a delicious new recipe from Heart Food – the Healthy Heart Cookbook.

Enjoy your newsletter… and thank you again for your wonderful support.
