Get Small - If you have standard size dinner plates, get some smaller plates. It easily helps reduce your portions.

Think Out Of The Box - Boxed and processed foods usually have fewer phytonutrients which studies have shown help reduce the risk of heart disease. Eat fresh cooked foods whenever possible.

Go Big on Veggies - Increase the portions of veggies on your plate. Veggies should consist of 2/3 of the average plate size.

Take Away - Remove the salt shaker, only add necessary salt for flavoring during cooking. Salt increases blood pressure.

Fish Please - Fish, especially white fish has lowfat, cooks easily, and is heart healthy. Eat quality fish, once or twice a week. Discuss with your doctor if planning or are pregnant.

Eat Seasonally - When in-season, increase your in-take of fresh veggies and fruit.
