HEALTHY HEART DIET

Heart-friendly diets play a variety of roles, including controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, monitoring insulin levels, and addressing other issues that impact the health of the heart and arteries.

The force of blood against the body's arteries is referred to as high blood pressure, or hypertension. The human body's cells contain the fatty material known as cholesterol. Elevations of both in the human body might be hazardous. Although they are the primary cause of heart attacks and strokes, there are no obvious symptoms or indicators that they have increased. Thus, they are referred to as the silent killers. It does not exhibit any symptoms, yet it might gradually deteriorate the cardiovascular system. It silently destroys the artery walls, increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. We follow a special Heart friendly Diet plan to control Blood pressure & Cholesterol, Diet plans for post Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and post Mycardial Infaraction (Heart attack)
