In terms of heart health, little adjustments can have major benefits. As a wellness advocate and dietitian, Sarah is aware of personally how strong the correct nutrients can be in healing your heart. Her path to better eating patterns was one of decisions that supported her heart and general well-being, not of extreme diets.
“I didn’t want to maintain a strict diet when I initially began emphasising heart health. As she gets ready a vibrant salad for lunch, Sarah says, “I wanted something sustainable.” “I came to see it’s about feeding my body full, nutrient-dense meals. It’s about what you include into your meals as much as what you avoid.
Starting little adjustments like eating more fruits, veggies, and whole grains would set Sarah on her path towards heart health. She beams and says, “I aim to eat a rainbow every day.” “Colourful foods are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that keep my heart and body in top shape.”
She also began include olive oil, almonds, and avocados—heart-healthy fats—into her diet. “Healthy fats maintain a good functioning heart and aid to reduce harmful cholesterol levels. All of it is about balance, Sarah says.
Eating deliberately has also been very important for Sarah. “I now pay attention to my body and eat when I’m hungry rather than merely bored. I find it incredible how much more vitality I have when I eat well.
Her guidance for anyone beginning their own path? Aim neither for perfection nor for nothing. Start making little, consistent adjustments that you can maintain. Those little adjustments taken over time will add up to a better heart and a happy existence.
Sarah has found a sustainable, fun approach to nourish her heart by selecting foods high in nutrients and low in processed components. She says, beaming as she savours her vivid, heart-healthy supper, “It’s all about taking care of yourself, one meal at a time.”
