Eating healthy foods can help you lower your blood pressure, cholesterol level,
blood sugar level, and body fat. It’s best to select foods that are high in fiber
and low in fat, salt, and calories.
An often overlooked but very important part of learning to eat healthy is being aware
of the types and portions of foods you eat. Your health care professional will help
your learn how to choose healthier foods in the right amounts. Reducing your intake
of foods that are high in fat and low in salt is a great way to begin practicing better
eating habits on your own.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute created the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
