Adopt a healthy lifestyle and develop a positive attitude towards life. Know which food items protect your heart and keep you going:
- Include food like oats in your diet, as it contains beta-glucan soluble fibre that reduces the risk of heart diseases and helps regulate blood pressure
- Use oils like rice bran oil, soy oil and olive oil, which do not contain trans-fat and do not increase cholesterol levels
- Eat lots of green leafy vegetables like fresh spinach contains folate
