The good oil for the heart
Heart health is not a subject to take lightly. In recent years, cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death on the planet, taking the lives of 17.9 million people every year, or about 31% of all global deaths (WHO, 2016). In Singapore, 19 people die due to cardiovascular disease everyday according to the Singapore Heart Foundation (2020).
What makes cardiovascular disease so deadly is the progressive buildup of plaque in the arteries , or the blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to different tissues in the body. When plaque builds up and the blood flow becomes inhibited, these clogged arteries can lead to more serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
So, what can you do to keep your arteries healthy and free of the blockage?
Because blockages can start early and silently, you are never too young to start exercising regularly and eating healthy for your heart and arteries.
