Putting a healthy meal on the table doesn’t have to be a challenging task. Follow a simple “recipe” to serve up heart-healthy meals that your family will enjoy—and that you can feel good about.

A heart-healthy meal:

...is rich in nutrients. Vitamins C, E and A (as beta-carotene), and the mineral selenium, as well as certain plant nutrients (such as polyphenols) act as antioxidants and can help support overall health. Foods containing these vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients include dark-colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.

...is low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol and sodium. Choose lean meats, low-fat dairy products, substitute healthy oils for butter or margarine in cooking, and go easy on salt and foods with added sodium.

...limits added sugar. Check ingredients on nutrition labels. Foods with sugar listed as one of the first several ingredients may be high in added sugar—and they are often low in other nutrients.

...tastes great! In fact, healthy eating can be simply delicious.
