HEALTHY RECIPES COLLECTIONS

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.

Embrace foods with heart-protecting antioxidants, such as richly colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and soy products. Try to limit foods that increase blood cholesterol or lead to weight gain, including saturated fats, trans fats and dietary cholesterol, as well as salt, sugar and alcohol.

To be called “heart healthy” our entrees have no more than 3 g of saturated fat (unless from fish, in which case 5 g is acceptable), at least 5 g of fiber, less than 60 mg of cholesterol, and no more than 480 mg of sodium. Heart healthy sides, salads, soups and desserts have 2 grams or less saturated fat and no more than 360 mg of sodium.

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