Episode Details

Cardiovascular disease claims one Australian life every 12 minutes, accounting for one in four deaths, yet remains largely preventable through dietary choices. The Mediterranean diet and Heart Foundation's heart-healthy eating pattern emphasise fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, and healthy fats whilst limiting salt. Consuming a handful of nuts daily reduces heart disease risk by 25%, whilst eating fish and seafood two to three times weekly provides essential omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular protection.
