Ep. 04: Diet & The Cardiovascular Diseases
Hello everyone! We are proud to announce our upcoming episode which will focus on one of the most significant yet neglected organs in our body - the heart.
Over the years, cardiovascular diseases remain the highest mortality rate not only in Malaysia but worldwide too! In view of such alarming data and the need to curb the issue, we have collaborated with Ms Ceymone, our dietitian expert, once again to highlight how much food plays a dominant role in determining the health of our hearts.
There are many risk factors that contribute to cardiovascular diseases. Not all are modifiable, however, our diet is. Limiting how much saturated and trans fats you eat is an important step to reduce your blood cholesterol and lower your risk of coronary artery disease. A high blood cholesterol level can lead to a buildup of plaques in your arteries, called atherosclerosis, which can increase your risk of a heart attack.
While we take pride in the diverse savouring cuisines our country is known for, we must also remember to treat our heart right. Tune in to find out more on how to practice a heart-healthy diet!
