Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil for Heart-healthy and Budget-Friendly Dishes
Indeed, heart diseases remain to be the leading cause of death in the Philippines. But the good news is it’s a preventable condition by making daily right choices— by getting regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.
Certainly, with unhealthy food as one of the main drivers of cardiovascular disease, our eating habits play an important role in this condition.
In a generation where everything comes in an instant usually means compromising on the quality of the food which includes ingredients being used in the preparation. Sadly, usually, it also means food that is high in bad cholesterol, has less fiber and lacks essential vitamins that our bodies need.
While it’s always a challenge to think about what to prepare for your next meal due to the rising prices, using healthy ingredients in your dishes should be a top priority, especially the use of the right cooking oil.
