ASK THE EXPERTS
THE CARDIOLOGIST
SAYS:
Favor
healthy
fats
To help keep your heart
happy, cut down on trans and saturated fats.
Instead, shop for lean cuts of meat, low- and nonfat
dairy products, and nonhydrogenated oils. Try
cooking with canola, flaxseed or soybean oils. These
oils—as well as fish like salmon and lake trout—
contain a healthy type of fat, which protects your
heart: omega-3.
How can I build a healthydiet?
THE GENERAL SURGEON SAYS:
Drink up
When you think of a healthy
diet, you may not think of
water. However, H2O has a
role in nearly every bodily
process. Most people should
drink at least eight cups a day
to stay healthy.
THE ORTHOPAEDIC
SURGEON SAYS:
Count
on calcium
Your bones benefit when you have the right amount
of calcium in your diet. Plus, calcium’s important
for muscle control and blood circulation. You can
boost your calcium intake by eating healthy portions
of low-fat dairy products. Or, add more green leafy
vegetables, like broccoli and kale, to your diet.
THE FAMILY
PRACTITIONER SAYS:
Switch
to whole
grains
Replace refined grains
with whole grains for
an easy way to improve
the health of the whole
family. Many family
favorites—like cereal
and pasta—come in
fiber-filled whole-grain
varieties. These help
you feel full with fewer
calories, which may help
keep weight in check.
Plus, they can reduce
cholesterol and lower
heart disease risk.
