Top 5 Heart Health Tips
1. 1 Healthy Diet
Try and keep a healthy diet that's low in fat, low in sodiumor salt, and high in
FIBRE
So things like lots fruits and vegetables to get your FIBRE
fresh foods to avoid the salt, try to stay away fromfried foods
and processed foods as much as possible.
Steinberg says it's critical to read your nutrition facts table and ingredients list
closely.
A few things to look for: a low sodiumfood contains
200 milligrams or less per serving. Limit your total
daily sodiumintake to between 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams,
or abouthalf a teaspoon. For TRANSFAT, the label should read zero.
But beware, somefoods may contain
TRANSFATin the ingredient list without showing up on the label.
So avoid foods containing partially hydrogenated oils and shortenings.
Limit your total fat to no more than 30 percent
of your total calories for the whole day, which includes healthy fats like omega-3s.
For FIBRE, you need 21 grams per day,
so reach for fruits and veggies in their solid form, as well as
whole grain cereals and breads.
