Your Guide to Heart-Healthy Living Through Diet | Expert Cardiac Nutrition Advice from JTS Medical Centre, UAE
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, including across the UAE. The good news? A significant portion of heart disease risk is preventable - and it starts on your plate. At JTS Medical Centre, our expert doctors and cardiologists in the UAE work with patients every day to build sustainable, heart-healthy lifestyles. Here is what the latest medical research - and our own clinical experience - recommends when it comes to the best diet for heart health.
Your heart is always working, pumping blood through a network of blood vessels that stretches for 60,000 miles. The food you eat has an impact on your cholesterol levels, blood pressure and the health of your arteries. All of these things can affect your heart.
Doctors who specialise in heart health say that up to 80 per cent of heart disease that happens early can be prevented by changing the way you live and what you eat is the most important thing you can change.
In the United Arab Emirates, people eat a mix of food and fast food, which is not good for their hearts. Because of this, a lot of people in the UAE have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and are overweight. That is why it is so important to get advice on what to eat that is tailored to your needs, like the advice that doctors at JTS Medical Centre give to their patients. Diet is the number one tool against heart disease.
