Special diet information
Heart healthy diet
A cardiac diet may be recommended for individuals with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, high triglycerides, and /or high cholesterol.
This type of diet is considered "heart healthy" and focuses on limiting saturated/trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium.
In addition to restricting fat and cholesterol, sodium should be limited to 2,400mg daily. This amounts to approximately one teaspoon of salt per day!
Sodium is naturally lower in fresh food items such as fresh vegetables versus canned vegetables since manufacturers often add salt to processed foods. It is important to read the nutrition label on commercially prepared foods.
