Heart disease is the number one killer in Malaysia for the past two decades according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia. Globally, heart disease remains as the leading cause of death for the last 20 years according to World Health Organisation (WHO). In fact, these figures are projected to increase in the years to come.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by adopting a well-balanced diet, regular exercise and routine health screening are important in keeping cardiovascular diseases at bay.
