One of the most essential organs is your heart! When it comes to caring for your heart, there are three main steps that you can take to promote long-term heart health: 

1. Limit foods with high amounts of saturated fat, like pizza, hamburgers, and ice cream.
2. Reduce excess sodium intake; use less salt when cooking and look for foods labeled “low sodium” or “no salt added” when you shop.
3. Aim to eat foods with more fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains (whole grain bread or brown rice are great choices).
