Heart and vascular diseases rank among the most common causes of death worldwide. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) are the leading causes of heart disease. Proper eating habits play a critical role in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease.
Our heart and vascular health nutrition program, prepared by our expert dietitians, is personalized according to your blood values, blood pressure, current health status and lifestyle. We aim to protect your heart health by reducing saturated fat, trans fat and sodium intake while increasing fiber-rich foods and healthy fats.

Your heart and vascular health journey begins with a comprehensive initial assessment. Your current blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar levels are reviewed. Your eating habits and lifestyle are evaluated in detail. A heart-friendly nutrition program tailored to you is prepared. In regular follow-up sessions, your blood values are monitored and your program is updated.
