A proper diet is one of the best ways to combat Heart Disease. Changing unhealthy eating habits and maintaining good ones greatly reduces your risk for heart disease. 

High fat and high carbohydrate foods are not the best choices for healthy eating. High fiber, high protein, and low sodium foods, however, help to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. 

Including healthier choices in your diet is not hard, since there are a wide range of heart healthy foods available, including whole grain breads, fruit, vegitables, fish, and even chocolate.

Looking for some new ideas to jumpstart your new healthy diet? How does Chicken Cacciatore or Banana Cream Trifle sound? Read more in our Heart Healthy Recipes.

Or Ask our Emory HeartWise Nutritionist about whether all fat is bad or if red wine really is good for your heart.
