There are 6 major risk factors for heart disease:
- High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol
Diabetes
Smoking
Physical Inactivity
Obesity
Are there any new ways diet can reduce the risk factors?
There are two trends you can watch for:
- The first trend is to add antioxidants into your diet. Fruits and vegetables are a great way to get those antioxidants.
- And black tea also has special antioxidants - for example, 1 cup of Tetley's British Blend is equal to the antioxidant power of 3 glasses of orange juice. And the tea bags are bio-degradable because there is no string or tag.
The 2nd trend is to look for superfoods:
- Watermelon is a great example. There's lots of ways to eat it. And it's now found year-round in our grocery stores.
- Watermelon has an amino acid in it called citrulline that makes our heart work better and helps to regulate blood circulation.
