Health - Heart and Stroke Foundation promotes healthy alternatives for the festive season

In today's show, we spoke to Lucy Gericke - a Registered Dietician for the Heart and Stroke Foundation speaking to us about healthy alternatives for the season. This follows after research shows that there are significant spikes in heart attacks and heart failures on three particular days of the year namely Christmas day, the day after Christmas, and New Year’s Day. But the Heart and Stroke Foundation believes it’s possible to enjoy Christmas and New Year while still being kind to your heart by making healthy food options and finding recipes that fit the season but are good for you. And, of course, with so much more extra time, getting outside and being more active is not only a great way to get fit or maintain a healthy weight but it’s also a good opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. For further information you can contact the foundation on 0860 1 43278 (0860 1 HEART) or visit the website www.heartfoundation.co.za
