A good heart healthy diet consists of lean protein, lots of vegetables and fruits. Whole grains and some healthy fats.
It is best to eat a diet where vegetables and fruits of all the colors of the rainbow are represented. Focus first on vegetables and fruits and then add a small amount of a lean protein.
Avoid processed foods, frozen meals, take out and bakery items.
You must also keep from using salt or eating salty food because this causes water to accumulate in the body.
