WORLD Heart Day looks to raise awareness on issues regarding heart problems. According to the Heart Foundation of Malaysia, heart diseases have consistent­ly been the leading cause of death among men and women nationwide.

While some may not know, risk factors for heart diseases and stroke include smoking, inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables, obesity, physical inactivity as well as raised blood pressure, cholestero­l and glucose levels.

Thus, it is important for us to take note of our mental and physical well-being.

Never too late

By adopting a healthier lifestyle, the risks of developing heart disease and getting strokes can easily be reduced.

The simplest way to do so is by following a balanced eating plan that is high in carbohydra­tes and low in saturated fat. You can include at least two glasses of Marigold HL Low Fat Milk with Plant Sterols daily in your plan.

What are plant sterols?

Plant sterols are natural substances that are found in many grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds. Not only do they help block cholestero­l absorption, they also aid in lowering bad cholestero­l levels.

According to Dr Tan Hong Chang, consultant at the Department of Endocrinol­ogy, Singapore General Hospital, studies have shown that a daily intake between 0.8g and 3g of plant sterols lowers bad cholestero­l by a 10% to 20%, without affecting the good cholestero­l.
