Dieting for healthy heart

What you eat can affect your risk of heart disease.
Risks come from being overweight, high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, and eating too much saturated fat. Eating less saturated fat, more fiber, and lots of plant-based foods can really lower your chance of getting heart disease.
Heart disease happens when the arteries supplying the heart get narrow, mostly because of a process called atherosclerosis. Plaque building up in the arteries can cause chest pain or, if it's unstable, lead to a heart attack.
Different things, like aging, smoking, diet, cholesterol, and exercise, can affect how likely you are to get heart disease.
Bad fats like saturated and trans fats can raise the risk, but good fats from things like olive oil and nuts can help lower it. Eating a mix of veggies, fruits, whole grains, and healthy proteins, while cutting back on bad fats, is a good plan for a healthy heart. Foods like oily fish, certain oils, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds are especially good for your heart.
