Why Heart-Healthy Eating Matters
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but many risk factors are within our control. Choosing meals rich in omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants can help lower your cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy blood pressure.
How Your Diet Affects Your Heart
Your diet is that fuel for your heart. The right foods can help keep your heart running smoothly and healthily for years to come. But the wrong ones? They can clog up the work and cause problems down the line.
Small, consistent changes, like cutting back on fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar can greatly impact your heart health over time.
-
Fats: Not all fats are villains. Some, like unsaturated fats found in avocados and olive oil, are heroes for your heart. However, saturated fats, like butter and bacon, and trans fats lurking in processed foods are the troublemakers that can lead to clogged arteries.
-
Cholesterol: This waxy substance is found in your bloodstream and cells. Too much bad cholesterol (LDL) can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries.
-
Sodium: While a bit of salt can make your meals tasty, too much can lead to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for CVD.
-
Sugars: Excessive sugar intake isn't just bad for your waistline; it can also lead to an increase in heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and inflammation.
