CHOLESTEROL |
| Too much cholesterol -- a second cousin to fat-- can lead
to heart disease. Try to eat less then 300 mg each day. |
|
SODIUM |
You call it "salt," the label calls it "sodium."
Either way, it may add up to high blood pressure in some people. So, keep
your sodium intake low -- 2,400 to 3,000 mg or less each day.
* The AHA recommends no more than 3,000 mg sodium per day
for healthy adults. |
|
DIETARY FIBER |
| Eat more fiber! Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods, beans
and peas are all good sources and can help reduce the risk of heart disease
and cancer. |
|
VITAMINS AND MINERALS |
| Your goal here is 100% of each for the day. Don't count on
one food to do it all. Let a combination of foods add up to a winning score. |
|
TOTAL FAT |
| Aim low: Most people need to cut back on fat! Too much fat
may contribute to heart disease and cancer. Try to limit your calories from
fat. For a healthy heart, choose foods with a big difference between the
total number of calories and the number of calories from fat. |
|
SATURATED FAT |
| Saturated fat is part of the total fat in food. It is listed
separately because it's the key player in raising blood cholesterol and
your risk of heart disease. Eat less! |
|
TOTAL CARBOHYDRATE |
| Whe you cut down on fat, you can eat more carbohyrdates. Carbohydrates
are in foods like rice, potatoes, bread, noodles, rice, fruits, and vegetables.
Choose these often! They give you more nutrients than sugars like soda pop
and candy. |
|
PROTEIN |
| Where there is animal protein, there is also fat and cholesterol.
Eat small servings of lean meat, fish and poultry. Use skim or low-fat milk,
yogurt and cheese. Try vegetables proteins like tofu, beans, grains, and
cereal. |
