Mayo Clinic - Heart Healthy Diet - 8 Steps to prevent heart disease
The eight steps are:
1. Limit unhealthy fats and cholesterol
2. Choose low-fat protein sources
3. Eat more vegetables and fruits
4. Select whole grains
5. Reduce the sodium in your food
6. Control your portion size
7. Plan ahead: Create daily menus
8. Allow yourself an occasional treat
So far, I have been changing my diet, but after 16 months from my open heart surgery it is easy to slip!! From the list above, the easiest for me is #1, 3, 5, & 8! I'm great at #8! Going out to eat is not to bad, except for #6. Most of the places we good give a nice size proportion, and of course I usually clean my plate!
