Here are some tips to help you stay heart healthy,
compliments of SAGICOR
Breakfast
Try and eat breakfast even if you don't usually, it will fill you up and help
prevent you reaching for a high fat or sugar snack mid morning.
Brown
Swop your white toast for wholegrain bread or opt for a wholegrain cereal. This
can help lower your risk of heart disease.
Sandwich
Rather than rely on limited shop-brought lunches, pack your own with minimal
fats and maximum fruit and vegetables.
Soup
Make your own soups with very little fat or salt using lots of fresh vegetables.
It’s quick and simple to make and keeps well in the fridge for a few days.
Nuts
Don't let snacking ruin your healthy diet. Make sure you pack fruit, nuts and
seeds and carry some water or juice if you know you will be on the go for a
while.
Casserole
Those of you who like using a slow cooker can prepare healthy stews or
casseroles without oil or salt.
Fish
Fish pie makes a healthy and warming dish and if you use oily fish it counts
towards your heart friendly Omega 3 intake.
Fruit
A great way of upping your intake of fruit and veg is to make your own smoothies.
Cram in as much as you fancy and whiz yourself a tasty, healthy treat.
