5 Dietary Changes t Lwer Yur Chlesterl and Yur Risk f Heart Disease Just a few small changes in yur eating habits can help lwer yur risk f heart disease and lwer yur chlesterl. Fcusing n the prblem areas in yur diet and then making small but realistic changes may help yu avid taking medicatins. The changes listed n the next page nt nly lwer yur chlesterl but als make yur heartbeat mre stable, make platelets less sticky, lwer levels f inflammatin in yur bdy, and make the plaque (blckage) in yur arteries mre stable all f which lwer yur risk f a heart attack. Isn t it wrth a try? 3
6 The mst imprtant changes yu can make are: Eat mre plant-based fds. Eating a plant-based diet is linked with lwer rates f heart disease. Aim fr 5 r mre servings f vegetables and 2 t 3 servings f fruit a day. Eat mre beans, lentils, and whle grains. Decrease yur saturated fat intake by limiting fatty meats and 2 percent r whle-fat dairy. Avid trans fat (partially hydrgenated il). D nt eat fds with partially hydrgenated il n their list f ingredients. See the shpping sectin n page 8 fr mre infrmatin n reading labels. Use small amunts f extra virgin live il and canla il instead f ther fats and ils. Limit red meat (beef, prk, and lamb) t 2 times per mnth. Chse chicken, turkey, beans, lentils, and tfu instead. Eat fatty fish such as salmn, trut, tuna, herring, and mackerel at least 2 times per week. 4
7 Getting Started STEP 1: Turn t the TARGET FOODS CHART in the back f the brchure. Yur main gals are listed under WHERE TO START. STEP 2: As yu read thrugh the fds listed under INSTEAD OF THIS, circle the fds that yu eat regularly. These will be the nes yu ll want t wrk n first. STEP 3: Next, take a lk thrugh the suggestins under the TRY THIS clumn, as well as the suggestins fr shpping and eating ut n pages 8 and 9. They will give yu sme ideas t try befre making yur plan. STEP 4: Nw yu are ready t cmplete yur plan n the TARGET FOODS CHART. Under the clumn CHANGES I AM WILLING TO MAKE, write dwn changes yu will make. Hw will yur breakfast, lunch, dinner, r snacks be different? Hw abut eating ut? Remember that yu have chices when changing yur eating habits. Yu can chse t: Find a substitute. Change hw ften yu eat a fd. Change hw much yu eat. 5
8 It may be helpful t put yur TARGET FOODS CHART in a cnvenient place t remind yurself f the changes yu will make. Be patient but persistent. Fr example, it may take 1 t 3 mnths t see yur bld chlesterl level drp. Hw much it drps will depend n hw high in saturated and trans fat yur diet is nw, hw many changes yu make, and hw yur bdy respnds t yur new diet. Remember that these dietary changes can help t lwer yur risk f heart disease even if yur bld chlesterl levels stay the same! 6
9 Suggestins fr Chsing Healthier Fds TRANS FAT: A NOTE OF CAUTION The Nutritin Facts sectin n a label can say a fd has 0 grams f trans fat, but it actually may have mre. Labeling laws allw fd cmpanies t say a fd item is trans-fat-free if it has less than ½ gram f trans fat per serving. S, yu culd eat several servings f an item labeled trans-fat-free and get enugh trans fat t increase yur risk f heart disease. As little as 2 t 7 grams a day can increase yur risk. Hw much shuld yu be eating? Zer grams f trans fat a day. SODIUM If yu have high bld pressure, reducing sdium has been shwn t lwer bld pressure after nly a few weeks. Even if yu d nt have high bld pressure, decreasing the amunt f sdium yu have each day can decrease yur risk f a heart attack r strke. The average American has 3,500 t 5,000 mg f sdium a day, with a surprising 80 percent cming frm restaurant fd, fast fd, and prcessed fds nt the salt shaker. Yur gal is n mre than 2,400 mg f sdium per day. What can yu d t reduce the amunt f sdium yu cnsume? Eat ut less ften. Aim fr 1 day a week. Ck at hme. Make extra and eat it fr lunch the next day. Eat fewer prcessed, packaged, and canned fds. Lk at the Nutritin Facts sectin n the labels f fds yu eat ften t see hw much sdium yu are getting. 7
10 Eat mre fresh fds, such as vegetables, fruits, whle grains, beans, peas, lentils, fish, chicken, and meats prepared withut salt. Cut the amunt f salt yu add while cking in half until yu are nt adding much, if any. Use herbs, spices, lemn juice, vinegar, balsamic vinegar, garlic, nins, wine, dry mustard, r Mrs. Dash instead. Cut the amunt f salt yu add at the table in half until yu are nt using any at all. Yur taste buds will get used t the lwer amunt f sdium in just 3 t 4 weeks. SHOPPING Read labels. Use the Nutritin Facts t cmpare similar prducts. Check the serving size, sdium, and amunt and type f fat. Avid fds that have these fats in the ingredients list: partially hydrgenated il (trans fat), ccnut il, palm kernel il, vegetable shrtening, and lard. Buy fresh fds when pssible. Prcessed fds (packaged, canned, bxed) have mre unhealthy fat, sdium, and sugar. Try nt t shp when yu are hungry. Shp frm a list. Use the TARGET FOODS CHART t make healthy chices. 8
11 EATING OUT Chse restaurants with varied menus s yu have a lt f ptins. Ask hw fds are prepared and request substitutins if needed. Order briled, baked, r pached fds r fds cked in canla r live il. Trim all fat frm meats and remve skin frm pultry befre eating. Avid fried fds. Order butter, gravy, sauces, and salad dressings (such as blue cheese and Thusand Island) n the side and avid r limit the amunt yu use. At the salad bar, chse fresh vegetables, fruit, and cked beans. Take nly small amunts f fds with maynnaise (such as cleslaw, pasta salad, and ptat salad). Chse live r canla il based salad dressings in small amunts instead. Skip the cheese, fatty meats, and crutns. Think small. Split a main dish r ask fr a dggy bag at the beginning f the meal. Order fresh fruit fr dessert. It s ften available, even if it s nt n the menu. Order a la carte. If yu rder a cmplete meal, yu are paying fr fd yu may nt want r need. 9
