Nourishing your Heart

Nourishing your Heart by Dulwich Health a guide to Heart-Healthy Nutrition

Welcome back to your Health and Wellness journey with Dulwich Health! This week, we’re delving into a topic close to every beat of your heart — nutrition and heart health. Your heart works tirelessly, and the fuel you provide matters. Let’s explore how smart nutritional choices can be a game-changer for cardiovascular well-being.

Understanding Heart Health

The heart, a powerful muscle, needs the right nutrients to function optimally. Poor nutrition can contribute to conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and inflammation — all precursors to heart disease. But fear not; a heart-healthy diet can significantly lower these risks.
