Did you know that heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide?

Quite often, the culprit behind this appalling statistic is the silent buildup of plaque in arteries, influenced by cholesterol levels.

While genetics can predispose you to heart disease, you can take the reins of your heart's health by eating the right foods.

Just as highways and railways make a country’s economy thrive, arteries carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body to ensure everything runs smoothly.

However, when cholesterol concentrations get out of control, plaque forms, narrowing arteries and limiting blood flow. This scenario increases your susceptibility to myocardial infarction, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.

Unless your state is critical, your diet can help manage your lipid concentrations and promote healthy arteries.

By including specific foods into your meals, you add natural ways to improve your heart health and overall well-being.

A study published in the journal Science Advances revealed that just five companies are responsible for 24% of all plastic waste worldwide.

The Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research in California conducted the investigation, analysing plastic waste collected from 2018 to 2022.

Among the more than 1.8 million pieces of waste gathered, over 900,000 had visible labelling, allowing experts to pinpoint that less than 60 companies are the main sources of global plastic waste.

Coca-Cola, the largest contributor, was responsible for 11% of the total branded plastic pollution, followed by PepsiCo, Nestlé, Danone, and Altria.

Despite corporate claims of prioritising recycling, the escalating pollution levels suggest a discrepancy between their statements and reality, raising questions about the recyclability of plastics compared to materials such as glass and aluminium.
