Focus On Heart Health

Heart-healthy diets focus on reducing blood pressure and cholesterol through nutrient-dense, fiber-rich, and unsaturated-fat foods, typically following a Mediterranean-style plan. Key staples include leafy greens, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), berries, nuts, olive oil, and whole grains, while limiting salt, saturated fats, and processed sugar.

Healthy Fats & Oils

Replace butter with monounsaturated fats, particularly olive oil, which contains polyphenols.

Whole Grains

Choose oats, brown rice, and whole-grain bread to increase fiber intake, which helps manage cholesterol.

Legumes and Nuts

Incorporate beans, lentils, peas, and unsalted nuts for sustainable protein and fiber.
