Common Questions About Heart-Healthy
What fats are best for my heart?
Unsaturated fats from olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish. Use them in place of butter and tropical oils.
How much fish should I eat?
Aim for two servings of fish a week, especially fatty fish rich in omega-3 like salmon and sardines.
Is sodium a concern?
Yes. High sodium raises blood pressure. Most comes from processed and restaurant foods, not the salt shaker.
Are eggs okay for the heart?
Moderate egg intake fits a heart-healthy pattern for most people. Pair them with vegetables, not bacon.
Which foods should I limit most?
Red and processed meats, fried foods, sugary drinks, and refined grains like white bread.
