Eating the right foods can support cardiac health and help reduce the risk of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
Melodee Mendoza, a nurse practitioner with the Cardiac Center, offers a healthy eating plan known as DASH — Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The plan includes a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, beans, nuts and seeds. This eating plan is also low in salt and sugar.
And remember to go low in sodium when possible.
Happy and healthy eating!
