Cardiovascular - Healthy Eating

Healthy eating plays an important part in protecting your heart and circulation. A balanced diet can help manage weight, blood pressure and cholesterol, while reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions.

Choose plenty of fruit and vegetables, wholegrain foods, beans and pulses, alongside healthier sources of protein. Try to limit salt, saturated fat, highly processed foods and sugary drinks.

Small, realistic changes are often easier to maintain than a strict diet. If you already have a heart condition, follow any personalised advice from your healthcare team. Explore the useful links  for guidance, recipes and support.
