Heart-Healthy Eating.

This is what my father has been told to do.
Heart-Healthy Eating. Maintaining a heart-healthy diet can improve your cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
  • Read food labels when you shop
  • Eat fresh or plain frozen vegetables
  • Select lean cuts of meat
  • Broil, bake, steam, or microwave foods instead of frying them
  • Season your food with herbs, lemon juice, flavored vinegar, or salt-free spice mixes, instead of using margarine, butter, or salt. Take the saltshaker off the table.
  • Avoid cream, cheese, or butter sauces, which add fat and cholesterol.
  • If you are dining our, ask your server for heart-healthy suggestions.

Exercise for You and Your Heart!

Wow! I have somethings to work on.
