crunchy carrots, broccoli and red peppers along with spinach,
lettuce and other healthful items from the produce aisle.
●
Fill the bread box with whole-grain breads and rolls. Use
whole-grain pasta when cooking.
●
Go fish. Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish, such as
salmon and tuna, help protect against heart disease. The
American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating
at least two servings weekly.
●
Lean toward beans. They can be used in many recipes
instead of meat and are a more healthful source of protein.
When using beef, choose lean cuts. Round steak, sirloin and
flank steak are good choices, according to the AHA. Choose
lean, white meat when buying poultry.
●
Do an oil change. Replace butter and oils containing
saturated fat with canola and olive oils. Use nonstick veg-
etable oil spray for cooking.
