NHF Launches “Healthier Choices, Made Easier” Heart Mark Logo Campaign

NHF Launches “Healthier Choices, Made Easier” Heart Mark Logo Campaign

The Nigerian Heart Foundation has unveiled a month-long campaign tagged “Healthier Choices, Made Easier” to curb the growing burden of cardiovascular disease. From April 14 to May 15, the drive will feature a national summit, advocacy visits to government institutions, and market sensitisation in Lagos and Abuja. In partnership with NAFDAC, the Heart Mark Food Labelling Programme tests voluntarily submitted products for cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium levels. Approved items bear the Heart Mark Logo, giving consumers a clear sign of heart-friendly nutrition. With average salt intake at 10 grams per day—double the recommended limit—NHF aims for a 30% reduction by 2030. The initiative aligns with global best practices from the World Heart Federation and similar schemes in South Africa, Finland and other countries.

Yes, seeing that Heart Mark on products would guide me choose balanced meals and skip unhealthy snacks.

I guess it might remind us, but I'm not entirely sold that a logo alone changes habits.

It's interesting that the campaign runs for only a month, yet cardiovascular habits need long-term change.

A logo campaign alone probably won't shift long-held food and lifestyle habits without more hands-on support.

Local markets should highlight items bearing the Heart Mark logo near checkout for quick, healthier decision-making.
