Heart Health and Nutrition

For optimal heart health, reducing ultra-processed foods and increasing real foods in the diet is essential. Ultra-processed foods are products that contain artificial ingredients and cannot be made at home, contributing to inflammation in the body. Incorporating a Mediterranean-style diet composed of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lean meats, and dairy can greatly enhance heart health. Individuals should also be mindful that even protein bars, often considered healthy, can fall under the ultra-processed category, highlighting the importance of scrutinizing food labels.
