Show #>LiVeWell Senior's Health A NEWSLETTER WITH IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION FOR SENIORS September 2014 LiVe-Well—Eat Well Heart-healthy eating is an important step to control cardiovascular disease. Coronary artery disease kills when the arteries to the heart become narrowed by cholesterol-fatty deposits. A heart attack results when the arteries become blocked, cutting off the blood supply to the heart. Heart-healthy eating will help control weight, cholesterol levels, and increase energy levels. Heart-healthy eating means to eat less of some foods and more of others. Fruits and vegetables can be your best friend against the battle of heart disease. They are low in calories and have no fat or sodium. Choose fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Keep them on hand for a quick snack or a sweet dessert. Low-sodium canned vegetables are a better choice than a high sodium choice and canned fruit should be packed in all natural juices. Avocados and olives are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat (helps lower cholesterol) but eat them in moderation because they are high in calories. Whole grains are always a good choice. They are high in soluble and insoluble fiber and some nutrients, such as vitamin E and folate. Choose fortified whole-wheat flour, whole grain bread, whole-grain pasta, and high-fiber cereals. Check the package and choose products with 3 grams or more fiber per-serving. Focus on foods that are low in saturated fat (skinless poultry, seafood, and lean meats), choose fat-free and low-fat dairy products ( skim or 1% milk, fat-free yogurt, reduced fat cheeses and low-fat or fat-free sour cream or cream cheese). You can get protein from an assortment of sources, such as legumes, nuts, seeds, fat-free dairy, and lean meats. Legumes are high in protein and are a good low fat alternative to meat, plus they are cholesterol free and high in fiber. Use fats and oils sparingly. Choose olive and canola oils and products made from them (be careful to use them sparingly they are still high in calories). Choose margarine that has liquid oil as the first ingredient and has no trans-fatty acids, a type of fat that can raise your blood cholesterol. Making a commitment to your heart's health can start today. Evaluate your lifestyle and heart disease risk, contact your doctor and make a plan. Now is the time to put your plan into action!
