Passionate about cardiovascular health, wellness coach Chloe Lane thinks that little, deliberate dietary modifications can greatly improve heart condition. Her suggestions are inspirational as well as pragmatic.
“Heart health starts in the kitchen,” Chloe notes. “Your plate directly influences the lifetime of your heart.”
Among Chloe’s best suggestions is to give healthy fats top priority. She says, “Avocados, olive oil, and nuts are amazing sources of monounsaturated fats which support heart health.”
She also exhorts cutting back on salt. Chloe cautions, “High sodium levels can increase blood pressure.” ” Flavor your food with herbs and spices instead of salt.”
Another pillar in Chloe’s heart-healthy tool are whole grains such as barley and oats. She points out that they are bursting with soluble fiber, which helps reduce LDL cholesterol.
Chloe stresses the need of incorporating vibrantly colored vegetables in every meal. “The better is your plate the more colors it contains,” she advises. Every color offers special nutrients that cooperate to guard your heart.
Her last bit of advise is to treat family health as a shared concern. “Cooking and dining together not only enhances your diet but also strengthens emotional ties,” Chloe says. Your heart—emotionally as much as physically—will appreciate you.
