A heart-healthy diet is one that is low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. It emphasizes foods that are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources. Some heart-healthy foods include fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, nuts, and seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, and lean meats. It is important to limit consumption of red meat, processed foods, and foods high in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated fats. Following a heart-healthy diet can help reduce your risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol levels. It can also help with weight management and overall health.
