Commit to a healthier heart this 2020

Now that the Christmas parties are over, it’s time to start fresh with your health goals. What better time to start than the new year? Whether you’re thinking of turning over a new leaf or a simple detox from last year’s food indulgence, commit to work on your health this 2020.

Keeping a healthy heart is committing to a healthier you. After all, the heart is one of the most vital organs in the body. It never stops working; it beats for an average of 42 million times a year. This is why keeping it healthy should be a top priority.

Did you know that cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke are among the top 5 causes of death in the country? These conditions develop when high cholesterol leads to a build-up of plaque in blood vessels and restrict the blood flow into the heart’s chambers. Although the statistics are alarming, simple lifestyle changes may help you avoid heart-related problems.

There are two types of cholesterol that you should be aware of. The first type is LDL (low-density lipoprotein), known as the ‘bad cholesterol’ and the one you should watch out for. The other type is HDL (high-density lipoprotein) known as ‘good cholesterol’ which helps remove bad cholesterol from your bloodstream.

Eating heart-healthy foods can be the first step in helping manage your cholesterol and your overall heart health. Try getting enough omega-3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fats, and those rich in soluble fiber to help manage your cholesterol levels. These helpful nutrients can be found in foods like fish, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Apart from these foods, a convenient and refreshing way to manage your cholesterol is by drinking Del Monte Heart Smart 100% Pineapple Juice. Del Monte Heart Smart is the only juice with US-FDA approved Reducol. According to a clinical study, taking two servings of Del Monte Heart Smart every day may help lower LDL cholesterol in 8 weeks, together with a balanced diet. Del Monte Heart Smart is also available in Orange flavor.

This 2020, make sure to take care of your heart by eating healthy and drinking to better health with Del Monte Heart Smart Pineapple Juice.
