Ready to step up to a diet rich in the healthy nutrients your heart craves?
The experts recommend starting here:

Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fiber.
Eat fish at least twice a week.
Limit how much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol you eat. Only 30% of your daily calories should come from fat, with very little of that from saturated fats.
Select fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products.
Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
Limit your salt intake.
