Another surprising fact was information from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention which says that almost two-thirds, (64%), of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease, have no previous symptoms.
The research was commissioned by food services company Aramark with the results encouraging the company to produce more wholegrain foods to include higher fibre content, and healthier fats such as omega 3 fish oils, seeds and nuts.
Speaking about the findings, the company dietician Elbha Purcell said:
"To make our meals more healthy-heart friendly, we have incorporated the following foods into our menus - porridge, high fibre breakfast cereals, sweet potato, quinoa, wholegrain breads, brown rice and pasta, beans and pulses to name but a few, to increase our wholegrain offer to customers". "These foods as well as being a fantastic source of slow release energy are also a great source of fibre, which is well documented in helping to lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and colorectal cancer".
