AREMEDY FOR DAMAGED HEARTS has never been so sorely needed. Every three minutes, someone in the UK dies from a heart attack –and around 30% of all heart attacks are fatal, according to the British Heart Foundation.

This includes coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as stroke, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation.
Many of us have at least one risk factor for CHD and most of these risk factors are lifestyle related. They’re simply a result of the everyday choices we make about what we eat and drink, how much we exercise and whether or not we smoke.
We make these choices without much conscious effort and often put off actioning any necessary changes because we’re too busy.
