Eat Heart Healthy!

Here are some quick tips to help you eat heart healthy:

  • Try adding more heart healthy foods into your diet! Fish, almonds, walnuts, oatmeal, spinach, tomatoes, black beans, and oranges all have positive heart-healthy benefits.
  • When choosing foods, think about color! The darker the green or the brighter the red, yellow, and orange, the more nutrient dense the food.
  • Research shows the most heart-healthy diet is a plant-based diet. Try limiting meat to only 10% of your diet and incorporate more nutrient dense fruits and veggies.
  • Cut back on salt and limit alcohol intake.
  • Food swaps, like brown rice instead of white, are easy ways to incorporate healthier lifestyle choices every day.
