Most risk factors for heart disease are lifestyle related. They are a result of the everyday choices we make: what to eat, how much to exercise and whether to smoke. About one in 20 Australians and one in 23 Kiwi adults have heart disease, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) – a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels – is the number-one killer of women globally. There’s no single cause of heart disease, but lifestyle tweaks, like a healthy diet, can help reduce your risk of developing it.
