Top Tips for a Healthy Heart
A healthy heart means you can live life to the full. This fact should not be taken for granted. Excess weight means that your heart has to work harder to supply blood to your body. It significantly increases the risks of heart diseases and related illnesses and stroke.
The good news is that heart diseases are potentially avoidable and preventable.
Controlling your weight and shape, being fit and active and eating a varied and balanced diet will help to keep your heart in good condition.
Follow WLR’s top tips to keep your heart healthy.
Adopt a balanced and varied diet comprising whole grain products, fruit and vegetables, lean meat, fish and pulses.
Fats
Reduce your intake of saturated fats. Increase your intake of unsaturated fats – monunsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Fibre
Increase your consumption of fibre rich foods. Most fibre rich foods are low in fat and packed with vitamins and minerals. Studies show that Soluble Fibre may be partly responsible for lower blood cholesterol.
Fruit & Vegetables
