Each year around 270,000 people in the UK suffer heart attacks. Unfortunately an attack is usually the first sign for most people that there is something wrong with their heart.
When we picture someone with heart disease we tend to picture someone with lifestyle factors such as stress and and obeseity. Whilst these factors do indeed contribute to coronary heart disease (CHD) a lot more people can be at risk than we think. In fact heart disease is the biggest killer of women in the UK.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) happens when your arteries become clogged with fatty deposits of cholesterol and waste substances, causing a restriction in the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart.
A healthy lifestyle is the best way to a healthy heart. Changing your diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables and less fatty foods is a step in the right direction as is getting regular exercise. Stopping smoking is another important step you can take as well as reducing stress and alcohol consumption.
It is important the you consult your doctor or any other health care professional before undertaking any lifestyle change.
