Are you tired of hearing the same old story from your doctor each month? You need to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, hit the gym, and lose some weight? Well, why not start out slowly with a few healthy tips from the American Heart Association that can jump-start your trek to a healthier lifestyle?
The American Heart Association suggests incorporating a few new food groups into your diet, as well as consuming some of the meats and fish you already love.
Try including a fruit and vegetable into each meal. This doesn’t have to happen right away, you can work it in slowly based on your lifestyle and schedule.
If you love your carbs, you don’t have to get rid of them. Although you want to limit your consumption of grains, you still need these to lead a healthy lifestyle. Instead of choosing white bread, choose wheat or whole grain, a simple change that can make a large difference.
In addition, incorporate fish into your diet twice a week. This is a great way to get a good source of lean protein.
Finally, try to stay away from foods containing trans fats, and limit your intake of saturated fats.
