WORLD HEART DAY 2018
Just one more day until WORLD HEART DAY 2018. The main aim of this day is to enhance heart health by encouraging people to make healthier lifestyle changes.
Diet plays a major role in the heart’s health. So make yourself a promise to maintain a healthy diet, in order to keep your heart healthy and young. Here are a few heart-friendly diet changes that you should introduce in your life:
- Eat high-fibre food such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and so on
- Reduce your salt intake (cooking your own food helps with this)
- Cut out trans fats, such as cakes, cookies and fast food
- Go for whole-grains (choose brown rice over white rice, whole grain bread over white bread)
- Choose low cholesterol proteins (prefer chicken, fish, egg and vegetable protein over beef, pork and lamb)
