The fast lifestyle that most people lead nowadays means that most people rely on an unhealthy diet on a daily basis, which in turn leads to heart disease.

Fat blocks the arteries, which results in heart attacks or other heart related diseases. It is thought that there are 17million people all over the world suffering from some kind of heart disease. However, if these people do not smoke and lead a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise, 80% of them should not experience serious heart problems.

40% of the population in Malta suffers from heart disease, as Health Minister Joe Cassar explains in an interview with Favourite Channel News. In the interview, the Minister promotes a healthy diet so as to keep heart problems at bay.

Favourite Channel News interviewed also the Chairman of St James Hospital, Dr Josie Muscat, who spoke about the educative campaign going on throughout the month of April at the St James Hospital. The campaign, entitled ‘We Care For Your Heart’ is planned so as to rather than just cure heart diseases, one learns how to prevent them and therefore more lives are saved.
