the role of nutrition in promoting heart health

Hey, foodies! Let's talk about something near and dear to our hearts: nutrition. As the saying goes, "you are what you eat," and it can’t be over emphasised when it has to do with our heart. The food we eat plays a crucial role in supporting heart health and reducing the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. So, what does a heart-healthy diet look like, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you! A heart-healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while being low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. By fuelling our bodies with nutritious foods, we can help reduce our risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions. But it's not just about what we eat – it's also about how we eat. Eating mindfully, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy weight are all important factors in supporting heart health. And let's not forget about regular physical activity! Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate- intensity exercise most days of the week to keep your heart strong and healthy. So, if you're looking to take charge of your heart health, start by making small changes to your diet and lifestyle. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your meals, choose whole grains over refined grains, and opt for lean proteins like chicken and fish. And don't forget to stay active and prioritise your overall health and well-being. At Zuri Health, we're passionate about helping you live your healthiest, happiest life. That's why we offer a range of services to support your health journey. Together, we can take charge of our heart health and live life to the fullest!
