heart healthy diet
Cholesterol-lowering eating plan
A heart healthy diet is an eating pattern designed to reduce cardiovascular disease risk—typically emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and unsaturated fats while limiting sodium, saturated fat, and processed foods.
The phrase appears constantly in medical advice and food marketing: My doctor recommended a heart healthy diet after my cholesterol came back high.
