The Croí Health Team worked with a group of Mayo farmers to help them improve their heart health and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease through exercise, diet and lifestyle changes.

The programme was well-received by all who participated. Check out the videos below to hear from two farmers who completed the programme and kindly shared their experiences: Michael McNamara, from Clare Island; and Seamus McGrenra, from Claremorris.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1608218546048{margin-top: -20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5XkP9KFX-M&feature=youtu.be” align=”center” title=”Michael McNamara, Clare Island”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/tQD3G05lcyg” title=”Seamus McGrenra, Claremorris”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1608218546048{margin-top: -20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Health & Mind” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%231d7656″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none”][vc_toggle title=”Mental Health Resources”]
