The countries with the best healthcare in the world

How is healthcare defined? Generally, we understand it as a set of systems we depend on, that help us maintain our personal health through prevention or treatment of illness, disease, injury, or another kind of mental or physical impairment. Many governments provide nationwide healthcare to their citizens; however, the standard and quality of care ultimately received by the patient differs from country to country, and there are several reasons for this. Ranking the world's countries in order of the best healthcare services is no small task, and to do so several factors were taken into consideration. 1. The Legatum Prosperity Index measures the extent to which people are healthy and have access to the necessary services to maintain good health, including health outcomes, health systems, illness and risk factors, and mortality rates. 2. CEOWORLD Magazine's Health Care Index "is a statistical analysis of the overall quality of the health care system, including health care infrastructure; health care professionals (doctors, nursing staff, and other health workers) competencies; cost (USD p.a.per capita); quality medicine availability, and government readiness." Under this index, each country is scored out of a total of 100. 3. U.S. News & World Report is a valuable resource with a suite of health-focused rankings. Since 1990, the publication has compiled Best Hospital rankings. Taking these three metrics into account, countries were ranked for their healthcare system's performance. Intrigued? Click on to learn where in the world you'll receive the best healthcare.

Key foods to help prevent clogged arteries

Atherosclerosis is a potentially deadly condition that develops when fatty deposits accumulate along artery walls, resulting in the thickening or hardening of these vital channels. Arteries play the crucial role of delivering oxygen and nutrients to every organ, tissue, and cell in our body, so it's imperative they remain supple and free from a buildup of plaque. Failure to maintain a normal, healthy blood flow can result in heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. Regular exercise is one way of keeping these vessels in tip-top condition, but did you know that there are certain foods that can help thin the arteries and reduce the risk of them narrowing and restricting blood flow?
