When it comes to eating smart for your heart, stop thinking about short-term solutions and simplify your life with a straightforward approach that will serve you well for years to come.
Smart eating goes beyond analyzing every bite of food you lift 36 your mouth. “In the past we used to believe that 37 amounts of individual nutrients were the 38 to good health,” Linda Van Horn, professor of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee. "But now we have a 39 understanding of healthy eating and the kinds of food necessary to 40 not only heart disease but disease 41 general," she adds.
Scientists now 42 on the broader picture of the balance of food eaten 43 several days or a week 44 than on the number of milligrams of this or that 45 at each meal.
Fruits, vegetables and whole grains, for example, provide nutrients and plant-based compounds 46 to good health. “The more we learn, the more 47 we are by the wealth of essential substances they 48 ," Van Horn continues, "and how they 49 with each other to keep us healthy."
You'll automatically be 50 the right heart-healthy track if vegetables, fruits and whole grains make 51 three quarters of the food on your dinner plate. 52 in the remaining one quarter with lean meat or chicken, fish or eggs.
The foods you choose to eat as well as those you choose to 53 clearly contribute to your well-being. Without a 54 , each of the small decisions you make in this can make a big 55 on your health in the years to come. A between B through C inside D to
