Beating cardiovascular disease

EATING for heart health and stroke prevention need not be boring. Through smart food choices, innovative menu planning to preserve taste and convenience, effective weight management, plus the inclusion of some appetising heart-friendly foods, a heart-healthy diet is achievable for all.  

Chew Pei Gee from the Singapore National Heart Association, says that “with more nutrition information available on food labels, more people are checking nutrient contents before dropping them into their supermarket trolley, and as the food industry responds to the rising demand for healthier foods, we see ever greater choice of foods with heart-healthy ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids.”
