Eating for Your Heart

How can I eat for better heart health?

You don’t have to do a dramatic overhaul to

your diet to see improvements to your weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Mak-

ing small changes can be just as effective in lowering your risk of heart disease and may

be easier to stick with for the long term.

You may want to follow a formal diet so you

know exactly what to eat, or you might prefer having some general guidelines to keep in

mind. Either way, a heart-healthy diet should include these principles:

Stay within a reasonable daily calorie

limit. Your diet shouldn’t cut out entire

groups of foods or leave you hungry all the time. Prepackaged meals (single portions of

balanced, calorie-controlled meals) may be an option for you.

Use proper serving sizes. Consider getting a food scale so you can measure or weigh

your food until you can learn to judge portions on your own. If you don’t want

to use a scale, you can find portion size guides online.

3. Cut back on:

Red meat. Sugary foods and drinks. Try foods made with low- or no-calorie sweeteners, like su-

cralose, stevia, and aspartame instead of sugar.

Saturated and trans fats. Use healthier oils and sprays like olive or canola.

Sodium. Limit yourself to 2,300 milligrams

(approximately one teaspoon a day) or less daily; 1,500 milligrams a day should be the

max if you want to lower blood pressure. Talk

to your doctor about whether you should use a salt substitute. Processed foods or canned foods.

4. Eat a variety of food that includes:

Fruits and vegetables, especially those that

are high in potassium, like bananas, raisins, and oranges (7-9 servings every day)

Whole grains (6-8 servings a day)

Low-fat dairy (2-3 servings a day)

Fish and lean meats prepared without skin

or added fats (up to 6 ounces a day)

Get plenty of fiber. A fiber-rich diet has

been linked to a lower risk of heart disease and diabetes as well as lower blood pressure,

lower bad cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and a healthy weight. Most adults need 20-30

grams a day. Great sources are whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and beans. If

you can’t get enough from food, a fiber sup-plement might help. Check with your doctor

about the type you should try.

Heart Health Tips

CHOLESTEROL TIP:

How can I lower my cholesterol levels?

Medications and lifestyle changes can help you get high cholesterol under control. Even if

you don’t have high cholesterol, you can still

make changes to your daily habits to lower your risk of heart disease.

Here are steps you can take:

Eat healthy: Your meals should be mostly

fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat

dairy, poultry, fish, and nuts while limit-ing red meat and sugary foods and

drinks. Bonus: Eating a heart-healthy diet can help you lose weight,

which may help lower your cholesterol. Move more: Aim for 30 minutes of heart-

pumping activity most days of the week. Think brisk walking, bicycling,

and swimming. Quit smoking: No matter how long

you’ve been a smoker, you will still benefit from quitting.

Avoid secondhand smoke: Even if you don’t smoke, being around it can raise

your risk of heart disease.
