Comment on a story to join the table talk! Eating for heart
health is actually easier — and more delicious — than you might
think. When you have a good plan and plenty of mouthwatering
recipes, you’ll enjoy taking care of your heart. According to
the FDA, diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods,
and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the
risk of heart disease. Here are some tips to help you make these
kinds of heart-smart choices: Choose leaner cuts of meat. You
can find plenty of delicious options such as skin less chicken,
lean pork and beef. And you can make smart substitu tions, too —
use ground turkey instead of ground beef to make meatloaf or
burgers even leaner. Add fruits and veggies to every meal.
Strawberries in yogurt, blueberries on a salad, carrots and
hummus as a snack, roasted sweet potatoes with dinner — it’s
easier than you think to add nutrient-dense produce to your
diet. Eat plenty of different colored produce for variety and a
wider range of health benefits
