World Heart Day was celebrated on the 29th of September and was a reminder of how important it is to live a heart – healthy lifestyle. Heart attacks, strokes and cardiac arrests seem to be too common and too frequent nowadays, and is an indicator of how we should be more cautious and conscious of nurturing a healthy heart. Flora recently relaunched their margarine which is now made with plant-based oils, Omega 3 and 6 and enriched with vitamin A, D and E. The Flora margarine contains 70% less saturated fat than butter and is regarded as a healthy alternativ­e to the highly saturated fat found in butter that increases risk of heart disease.

“Flora is made with sunflower and canola oil and is a product that provides necessary nutrients for a healthy heart, which are also vital additions for a balanced diet. It’s always wise to start a healthy diet and an active lifestyle which can drasticall­y reduce the risk of heart diseases. We believe healthy eating can be fun and we are determined to encourage people to make a habit of it!” commented Shehani Liyanage, Marketing Manager of Flora. In celebratio­n of World Heart

Day, Flora teamed up with Spinner Café, a well-known healthy café that encourages diners to eat clean and be active,to introduce a special Heart Healthy Menu for a month with a wide range of dishes made using Flora margarine that is promised to be both delicious and healthy.
