Heart healthy describes foods, activities, or habits that promote cardiovascular health—reducing risk of heart disease, stroke, and related conditions.
The term appears constantly in nutrition marketing: heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fat.
Exercise, not smoking, and managing stress are also considered heart healthy.
Sometimes hyphenated: heart-healthy choices.
