World Heart Day - 28th Sept, 2008

Time to know our risk!!!
Heart diseases are world's number one killer!! Just by reducing salt intake to half a spoon will save millions of life!
Also, scientists have found that a boost in vitamin C intake has been shown to cut the risk of death from heart disease.
Fresh fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, apples and bananas and green vegetables are good sources of vitamin C. This again emphasizes that a balanced diet containing at least five portions of fruit or vegetables daily will provide all the vitamin C that the body needs, plus many more beneficial vitamins and minerals. What could be better than a full glass of good things: a fruit or vegetable smoothie. This directly caters to your 2-3 portions of fruit/vegetable need.
