How to look after of your heart
The way to a healthy heart is through the stomach!
Do’s
Have a balanced diet - it will make you feel much better and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables (at least 5 – 7 serving a day)
Eat a variety of grain products especially whole grains
Choose fat-free and low fat products, and eat more fish, beans and pulses, and lean meat.
Combine this with regular exercise - even 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day will help you, and this includes walking and dancing!
Consult your doctor regularly.
