Doctors tell us that the right choice of diet can help your heart be healthier and reduce risk of heart disease. Yet maintaining a proper diet can be challenging for most of us. We want what we want and reason loses out to whatever emotional connection we have with food that is less than healthy.
Our schedules are hectic and most of us rush around maybe skipping breakfast, a quick fast-food lunch and then home to a dinner that we are too tired to cook and then perhaps its a TV dinner. We all know we should eat better but for most of us it is not the priority that it needs to be if we expect to maintain a healthy body.
In fact it is almost as easy to eat a proper diet as it is the sad diet that most of us pursue. Most of us know the basics, fried food and frozen dinners are not the best – stay away from them. We need fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and not too much of it and perhaps some whole grains. We just have to have the desire to do it.
Someone said “White Death.” White flour, sugar, white rice, ok in small amounts but these need to be the smallest part of out diets that we can make them. Instead the fruits and vegetables along with fish like salmon with it’s high omega-3 content also good for a healthy heart.
These are all common-sense ideas that anyone can implement. Consulting your doctor or dietitian is always a good idea of course, but most of us already know when we don’t eat correctly.
