Today's Heart Tip: Eat Veggies
Vegetables are the most nutritious foods on the planet. They're packed with nutrients that can lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Choose veggies of different colors for maximum nutrition, such as asparagus, red peppers, broccoli, carrots, onions, spinach, and red cabbage. Buy fresh or frozen, and eat raw, steamed, sautéed, or roasted. Include fresh or cooked tomato products every week.
Melanie's heart advice: “Make a list of things to change, then conquer one at a time before moving to the next. Think baby steps.”
