American Heart Association Cookbooks

Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States, according to Web MD. Eating a heart healthy diet can help you stop heart disease. Taking small steps in making changes to your diet can have a big impact on your heart health. If you are concerned about your heart's health, you may want to follow these suggestions on eating a heart healthy diet and invest in a cookbook by the American Heart Association.

First, add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. Additionally, add foods that contain fiber and are made with whole grains to your diet. A heart healthy diet also includes foods that are low in saturated and trans fats and cholesterol. Add more foods that contain a lot of omega-3 fatty acids in them, like fish. Finally, try to limit the amount of sodium and sugar you consume daily for a heart healthy diet. You can also purchase a cookbook by the American Heart Association to help you eat a heart healthy diet.
