Heart attacks are the leading cause of death both in the U.S. and the Philippine, says the American Heart Association.
The most common are blood cholesterol level that’s too high, hereditary tendency to develop atherosclerosis and increasing age (55% of all heart attack victims are 65 years old or older, 45% are under 65 and 5% under 40).
You can’t change your age, gender or your genes, but you can make positive lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of developing heart disease.
Adopt a new lifestyle particularly your fatty diet. You can make a fatless longganisa by minimizing the backfat content by 30% and replace it with olive oil added to the seasoning to maintain the juiciness of meat.

I really like this recipe because it truly is a great alternative to unhealthy diets that are too high in bad fats. This dish is particularly good since you are getting not only low fat, but HEALTHY fat — olive oil! That’s why you should try to eat foods like this, with good fats like olive oil, fish oil, or anything with Omega-3 fatty acids.
Good recipe!
By the way don’t to poison my clients or to make them sick, I want them to come back happy and healthy to buy my foods.
May i ask for what are these ingredients are?( phosphate, beef aroma, beef enhancer, tvp, isolate, carageenan, allurared) sounds all new to me and are they chemicals, synthetic, where are they produced, from China? Sounds creepy to me, trying to make healthy foods full of chemicals? Doesn’t make sense at all.
