Nutrition especially the number of calories and from which type of food and nutrient (especially the type of fat) you get those calories is very important. Be aware of how many calories you need to consume to maintain your average weight. If you are obese this is the right time to begin a diet modification plan towards general good health. If you have consumed more calories than desired, increase your physical activity to burn those unnecessary calories. Eat healthily and wisely. Incorporate more of the following foods in your diet. Increase your daily intake from the following Food Groups Fruits and vegetables They are nature’s gift to us. They contain essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals and fibre and are generally low in calories. They also taste good and add colour and flavour to the daily diet. Whole Grain Foods Unrefined whole grain foods not only give you a feeling of bulk and satiety but also provide natural fibre, which is effective in lowering cholesterol. Thus it can also help in weight maintenance. Whole beans and legumes Legumes and beans are rich in protein, fibre and vitamins of the B complex group. Whole beans provide the essential fibre required for heart disease patients. Fish Ongoing studies on omega3 fatty acids from certain fish like salmon, trout and herring have show a correlation between lowering the risk of heart disease and consumption of fish. |

Posted on: 08/16/2011 to me i have alot to say about this major topic. to be sincere heart disease ocure as a result of incovinent lifestyle and lack of normal diet. apart from hereditry factors, if an average human can take normal diet and have an excercise when necesary and normal job, the rate of death by heart disease will reduced. the major causes of heart disease in some cases is poverty. hope you all know what i mean by poverty. state of an unwealthy condition. no money to maintain normal life style, when there is little illness, there will be financial problem to cure it, which may lead to any heart disease.my name ayodele albert. thanks
