Diet to Help Prevent Heart Disease
Diet to Help Prevent Heart Disease You probably know that a healthy diet is important. Eating right can help prevent a number of problems such as high cholesterol and heart disease.

It’s called MyPlate. It uses a simple graphic to help you make healthy food choices to lower your risk for heart disease, as well as cancer, d...

Components of Food
Components of Food If you are trying to make heart-healthy changes to your lifestyle and diet, it's helpful to know some basics about nutrition, starting with the components of food. Facts about calories You need enough calories to give you energy, but no more than you can burn off. This is called an energy balance. If you take in more calories than you burn, you gain weight.
