WHAT HEART ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS TO EAT HEART ASSOCIATION LIFESTYLE DIET RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING MORE OMEGA 3 LESS SALT SODIUM TRANS FATS
The American Heart Association diet and nutrition recommendations discuss things like eating omega 3 as well as limiting sodium and sugar intake. They recommend cutting out trans fats and limiting saturated fats. Minimize intake of beverages and foods with added sugars. The law requires food makers to put the trans fat content on the label. You should get in the habit of reading the labels for contents of trans fats,saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium.
Eat less sodium and consume no more than 2300 mg of sodium daily, (I would say less is better especially for people with high blood pressure) choose and prepare foods with little or no salt. Middle-aged and older adults, African Americans, and those with hypertension should consume no more than 1500 mg of sodium daily.
Consume an overall healthy diet and set a goal of at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily. Consume a diet rich in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables (not fruit juices), especially those that are deeply colored (spinach, carrots, peaches, and berries).
Maintain a healthy body weight, balance calories consumed with calories burned and to increase awareness of calorie content of foods for portions typically consumed and of daily caloric requirements. Prepare fruits and vegetables with little added saturated or trans fat, salt, and sugar. and choose whole-grain, high-fiber foods. Limit alcohol intake to not more than 1 drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men (1 drink = 12 oz of beer, 4 oz of wine, 1.5 oz of 80-proof distilled spirits, or 1 oz of 100-proof spirits). When eating out, be aware of portion size; select vegetables and fruits; and avoid foods prepared with added saturated or trans fat, salt, and sugar.
