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
