Enjoy these delicious heart healthy recipes.

When it comes preventing heart disease through diet, there’s quite a bit you can do—and a lot to remember. EatingWell’s food and nutrition editors have done much of the work for you by creating a selection of tasty, heart healthy recipes.

To be called “heart healthy” our entrees have no more than 3 grams of saturated fat. Fish entrees can have up to 5 grams, since the benefits of omega-3 fats outweigh the saturated fats. Our heart healthy sides, salads, soups and desserts have 2 grams or less of saturated fat.

All recipes in this collection qualify as heart healthy. Most feature brightly colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts or soy products—foods containing antioxidants and fiber, which also may help your heart.

So enjoy these delicious heart healthy recipes from our EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook —and add in a good dose of daily exercise—and you’ll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle!

I have been trying different sites on the internet trying to find help. I am 33 years old and struggling with being overweight all my life. Pls help me. i really don't have time for a lot of exercise so that's a big problem but if i can at least find some other way to burn fat regularly i would be ecstatic. I don't aim to be skinny cuz dat wud be unrealistic. But i do want to be smaller and healthier. Help!

Dear Stephanie, I myself am now on a diet, and I have found that keeping a journal of all my calories that I consume a day keeps me from binging. Also I find that it is healthy not to skip breakfast. And also a little exercice a day may help. Fruit is the best sweets that you can eat a lot of. Hope this helps... From the person who has lost 40 pounds in 3 months.

carmen, Keansburg, 07

I need a diet plan that helps me by telling me what I need to eat at each meal, plus snacks. Recipes would also be helpful. I went to a cardiologist yesterday and the news was not good, so NOW is the time to start!!!
