Diet doozy

Forget diets – what’s important, especially for your heart, is that your diet consists of healthy food

We’re all looking for that perfect diet to keep us in tiptop shape for the long haul. But it turns out you may have been looking in the wrong place. A recent study has highlighte­d that instead of the specific ‘diet’ being followed (high-protein, low-carb, high-fat or what have you), what’s more important is the overall healthfuln­ess of the diet, especially in the case of heart health. So, instead of banishing carbs, focusing on fats or amping up your protein, simply incorporat­e a range of healthy foods from each food group and you’ll be in good stead.
