In this episode of our podcast, Feature Editor Maria Cohut discusses matters related to diet and heart health with Prof. Oyinlola Oyebode, PhD, from Queen Mary University of London, in the United Kingdom. Some of the questions we address are: Why are certain foods, regardless of whether or not they are plant-based, so bad for the heart? How does salt impact the cardiovascular system? And what makes a truly heart-healthy diet?
