When it comes to heart healthy eating, there are some key foods and nutrients to focus on to keep your heart healthy and lower your risk of heart disease. These include fibre, healthy fats, low salt, and antioxidant rich foods. Let us take a dive into learning about each of these areas and how they can contribute to your overall health.
Fibre can help your body in so many ways, from keeping your gut healthy to controlling blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and helping lower your ‘bad’ cholesterol levels. When your LDL, or bad cholesterol, is high it can lead to narrowing arteries and impact blood flow to your heart. Fibre, particularly soluble fibre, helps collect excess cholesterol in the gut and flush it out of the body. Both soluble and insoluble fibre can help keep us full and help us eat smaller portions. Sources of fibre include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans.
Depending on the type of fat you are consuming in your diet, it can have a different effect on your cholesterol and heart health. Consuming too much saturated fat can make your bad cholesterol go up, while switching out for a healthier fat source like avocados and vegetable oils can help your good cholesterol, or HDL, go up. HDL cholesterol helps carry fat away from your heart. Limiting red meat and replacing it with a fatty fish like salmon can help contribute to healthier fats in your diet.
Eating processed foods that are higher in salt can affect your blood pressure and heart health in a negative way. Replacing salt in cooking with herbs and spices and eating more whole forms of food can help lower salt intake. Another way to be aware of salt levels is to read nutrition labels on packaged food and aim for choosing items with less than 15% of your daily value of sodium.
Lastly, consuming antioxidant rich foods, like fruits and vegetables can support your heart health in many ways. For example, eating potassium-rich foods has been linked to lower blood pressure and supporting your heart. This includes foods like bananas, soybeans, and sweet potatoes.
In summary, eating fibre-rich whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils, low-sodium foods and healthy fats can all contribute to a healthier heart.
