Guidelines for a Cardiac Diet:
Lower total fat intake, in particular saturated fat and trans fat
Saturated fat is usually solid at room temperature (lard, butter) and raises cholesterol in the body. Trans fat has the same effect as saturated fat in the body. This fat is usually found in store-bought crackers, cookies, pies and chips. Check the food label for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated
Lower cholesterol intake
Cholesterol is only found in foods that come from animals (meat, milk, cheese, butter). Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains since these foods do not have cholesterol
Avoid adding salt to food and eating foods high in salt
Foods that are processed, instant, or from fast food restaurants are typically higher in salt. The more fresh foods you can eat, the better.
Control body weight, or lose weight if you are overweight
Lowering fat intake is only part of the weight loss plan. You also need to be as physically active as possible and control portion sizes of foods.
