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.
