Cardiovascular diseases are now the main cause of deaths in Spain, but experts say that many could be avoided through the adoption of a more healthy lifestyle.
Health starts with nutrition and eating in a balanced way. In addition, not smoking and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle are seen as key factors in avoiding cardiovascular problems.
However, more and more younger people are suffering from cardiovascular problems and specialists are committed to include health education in schools.
According to the World Health Organisation, around 17 million people worldwide die from cardiovascular disease each year.
