Experts Address Heart Health Ahead of World Heart Day

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining health and preventing chronic diseases, with the World Health Organization recommending diets rich in fruits and vegetables to lower risks of heart disease and cancer. As families navigate busy schedules, simple meal prep strategies, like preparing versatile ingredients, can help maintain healthy eating habits. Meanwhile, a panel discussion highlighted the importance of recognizing heart attack symptoms and adopting healthier diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. The '9-5-2-1-0 Let's Go!' campaign aims to educate families on healthy habits, emphasizing adequate sleep, fruit and vegetable intake, limited screen time, and regular physical activity. Additionally, the global challenge of an ageing population raises concerns about healthcare costs associated with non-communicable diseases, as highlighted by AIA's CEO at the East Asian Insurance Congress. Addressing these health and lifestyle issues is crucial for fostering a healthier society.
