7 Easy Heart-Healthy Swaps That Taste Great
Cardiologist Dr. Evan Shlofmitz shares seven simple, tasty swaps to boost heart health: swap fried potato chips for plantain chips (more fiber, less processing); flavor coffee with cinnamon to cut added sugar and cream; use seasoned olive oil to reduce saturated fat and sodium; replace high-sodium flavorings with miso paste; opt for all-natural frozen fruit pops instead of ice cream; choose heart-healthy fish like rainbow trout (or other fish) instead of red/processed meats; and prefer 100% whole-grain or sprouted bread for fiber and satiety. Coupled with regular activity and label reading, these choices can improve cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and weight over time.
