Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the
United States, but you can reduce your risk by eating a heart-healthy diet.
The National Women's Health Information Center offers these suggestions:
- Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods.
Opt for low-fat or no-fat dairy products.
Choose lean, healthy proteins, such as chicken or turkey without the skin, fish, nuts and beans.
Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats, found in many forms of butter, fatty meats, fast food, desserts and creamy condiments such as mayonnaise.
Reduce cholesterol in your diet, found in organ meats, pork and sausage, and whole-fat dairy products.
Avoid foods that are high in salt (sodium) and sugar.
