FRUITS AND VEGITABLES
CAN PREVENT HEART DISEASE
Eating
fruits and vegetables every day can reduce your risk of developing heart
disease by 20 percent, a World Health Organization (WHO) study showed.
Death
rates from heart disease are twice as high among people who eat diets high in
saturated fat, trans fats and salt such as junk food, Xinhua quoted the study
as saying.More people around the world die from cardiovascular diseases than
any other causes.These diseases were responsible for 17.3 million deaths in
2008, representing 30 percent of all global deaths, WHO said Wednesday.The
major causes of cardiovascular disease are tobacco use, physical inactivity,
unhealthy diet and harmful use of alcohol.WHO predicts if the current rising
trend continues, by 2030 almost 23.6 million people will die from
cardiovascular diseases.
