Latest research shows that atherosclerosis (plaque deposits on artery walls) is caused initially by inflammation. Steps can be taken to help prevent this:

• Take Fish oil capsules, which are anti-inflammatory and help keep arteries flexible, promote healthy blood circulation, raise beneficial HDL cholesterol levels, and help support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels
• Reduce “bad” cholesterol

Healthy tips for your heart
Olive oil has natural compounds that help build flexible arteries and keep them relaxed for easier blood flow throughout the body

Eat fibre rich foods: Fibre helps grab onto cholesterol in the intestines and remove it from the body. This prevents it from being re-absorbed by the bloodstream and doing another tour of our arteries.

Fibre rich foods:
• Weetabix, branflakes, unsweetened muesli, Shreddies and porridge oats
• Wholemeal pasta and brown rice
• Beans, lentils and peas
• Fresh and dried fruits – particularly if the skins are eaten
• Vegetables – particularly if the skins are eaten
• Nuts and seeds
• Wholemeal bread
