Listen to your heart

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

On September 27, 1988, the Swedish pop duo Roxette released their single Listen to Your Heart.  The song hit the #1 spot on the Billboard music charts in both the United States and Canada in November of 1989. In 2005, the Belgian dance group DHT covered the song for release as an international club hit.  In 2020, ABC released a version of the Bachelor in Paradise that was titled, Listen to Your Heart.  Although these art forms are talking about love and relationships, it is very good advice for our overall heart health as well.
