Heart-Healthy Recipes

Heart Health

This National Heart Month, why not treat yourself to a home cooked meal, that not only tastes delicious but is great for your heart too? 

A healthy diet is essential for overall health and cardiovascular function; diets high in saturated fat and processed foods can cause bad cholesterol, making it difficult for blood to flow throughout the body and heart. These dishes have been selected as they are not only fun to create and taste amazing but their natural ingredients have been shown to provide many benefits to the cardiovascular system too.
