Heart Healthy Meal Makeovers

Posted on February 1, 2010

Watch my video on 3 heart healthy meal makeovers. I showcase typical choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner and tell you how you can slash the calories, saturated fat, salt, and cholesterol without sacrificing flavor. The numbers will surprise you. Small changes, big impact.

Remember 4 of 6 risk factors for heart disease can be changed with healthy eating.

1. manage weight
2. prevent diabetes (related to above and healthy eating)
3. have a normal cholesterol (eating healthy and low saturated fat and cholesterol, with high fiber and soluble fiber)
4. keep blood pressure low (avoiding too much salt, which can be hard to do)

What are your heart healthy eating tips? Do you think my suggestions are manageable.
