Heart Healthy Menu

Making a heart healthy menu can be easy. Here are some easy tips to help your heart and please your stomach:


1 WEEK PLAN TO GET YOU STARTED:
1.Start by analyzing the problem. Try and find out how you feel about food and eating.
2.Identify the challenges you face in developing and sticking to a healthy eating program.
3.Record your current eating habits. Prepare a daily log sheet to jot down what you eat.
4.On the log sheet, write down the meal, the exact items eaten, the number of servings and the category of food eaten (fat, carbohydrate or protein).
5.After 3 days, review your log sheet. Look for patterns and habits of eating.
6.Compare your average intake with a standard chart of recommended daily requirements for persons of your age, weight and other physical characteristics.
7.Set goals and targets for the future.
8.Remember to personalize your goals based on what you like to eat or cook, your family's needs and other constraints.
9.Plan actual menus for each meal, for many days or even weeks.
10.List out some 'energy-snacks' that cut fat, sodium and cholesterol but are still tasty.
11.You might follow some standard eating plans, like the DASH diet, for guidance.
12.Check labels on foodstuffs you buy.
13.Make changes every 2 or 3 months to avoid getting into a rut.
14.Once in a while, reward yourself! Go on and splurge - one meal won't do you in.

Tips:
1.Moderation and overall balance in eating is the target to aim for.
2.Practice 'portion control', resist temptation to overeat.
3.Variety is the spice of life. Be creative in making changes often.
