Having just observed February as American Heart Month, now is a perfect time to learn about ways to lower your risk of developing heart disease. One of the best ways to do this is by following a heart-healthy diet.
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and the Mediterranean diet are widely accepted by scientists as being good for your heart. Both emphasize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, seafood and lean meats, and fewer fatty foods and sweets. Both the DASH and Mediterranean diets also encourage followers to incorporate physical activity and movement into their day. In addition to being heart-healthy, both diets may help you lower your risk for developing type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
