Cardiovascular Health

Many of us are familiar with messages in the media about how food can affect our heart. Saturated fats linked to increase cholesterol. Salt linked to high blood pressure. Omega 3’s – the heart healthy oil. But how does this affect you? And is there more to it than the snippets of information we’re fed by the media? Food intake can have a huge impact on cardiovascular health. For example; improving liver function can have a dramatic effect in reducing cholesterol and specific foods and nutrients have been scientifically proven to reduce blood pressure. Most of us would like to avoid taking medications and in many cases, nutrition has been effective in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, negating the need for pharmaceutical drugs. Getting your food intake right can help optimise your cardiovascular health at any stage.
