Today's Heart Tip: Fiber Up
Dietary fiber is a diet superstar. Found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes such as beans, peas, and lentils, fiber can help prevent heart disease or slow its progression. It helps you maintain a healthy weight, lower LDL “bad” cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce inflammation. It also helps control blood sugar levels and lower your risk for diabetes.
Mike's heart advice: “Develop a workout regimen, stick to it, and find someone willing to hold you accountable for sticking to it.”
