A Daily Dose Of Love, Along With Diet And Exercise, Is What The Doctor Ordered For Heart Health PDF Print E-mail
Following are some simple tips to help you eat your way to a healthier heart:
  • Just One More: Add just one more serving of fruit, vegetables and tomatoes daily, and one more serving weekly of tuna, to your diet to live a healthier life. Stock your pantry with convenient products from brands such as Del Monte and StarKist Tuna that deliver on nutrition and taste.

  • Add Soluble Fiber: Consuming soluble fiber, such as that found in carrots, beans and peas, decreases your LDL levels.

  • Eat More Tomatoes: The lycopene in tomatoes may reduce heart disease through anti-inflammatory properties, and research shows that lycopene is absorbed more efficiently in processed tomato products.
