HEART-HEALTHY TIPS
"Whether you've been diagnosed with high cholesterol or you are justtrying to keep your cholesterol levels balanced, it doesn't mean you have toresort to bland, non-flavorful food," advises Julie Upton, a nationallyrenowned registered dietitian. "There are a variety of heart-healthy productsthat can be 'snuck into' anyone's diet that will lower LDL cholesterol whilealso satisfying the most finicky taste buds."
Heart-healthy tips from Ms. Upton include:
-- Eat plant-sterol enriched foods. Cholesterol-lowering plant sterolsare available in a variety of grocery market staples, be it CorazonasHeart-Healthy Chips, orange juice or buttery spreads.
-- Sneak fiber- and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables into meals.Top Corazonas tortilla chips with black beans, low-fat or nonfat cheese andpico de gallo for heart-healthy nachos (a great tailgating snack!). Addchopped fresh tomatoes into guacamole for added lycopene, a heart-friendlyantioxidant. Toss yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal with your favorite dried orfresh fruits for a boost of fiber.
-- Substitute the whole grain varieties of your favorite carbohydrates.Enjoy whole wheat pasta, brown rice, whole grain bread and even whole wheatpizza dough.
-- Limit saturated fat. It should account for no more than seven percentof your daily total calories. Substitute lean ground turkey or chicken forbeef in burgers and tacos. Eat more omega-3 rich fish and less red meat.
-- Focus on monounsaturated oils. Olive oil is great for salads andfinishing off foods, while canola is ideal for cooking and baking. Both areexcellent sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
