Diet Tips for a Healthy Heart
Eat a diet low in saturated fat, especially animal fats and palm and coconut oils.
Add foods to your diet that are high in monounsaturated fats, such olive oil, canola oil, and seafood.
Eat foods containing polyunsaturated fats found in plants and seafood. Safflower oil and corn oil are high in polyunsaturated fats.
Choose a diet moderate in salt and sodium.
Maintain or improve your weight.
Eat plenty of grain products, fruits and vegetables.
Eating this way does not mean you have to spend more money on food. You can still eat many foods that cost the same or less than what you're eating now.
