There’s no quick fix diet to set you on a path to better heart health.
Eating well for your heart means following an eating pattern that is:
• naturally low in saturated and trans fats, salt and added sugar
• rich in wholegrains, fibre, antioxidants and unsaturated fats

The best foods to eat and drink for better heart health include:
• fruits, vegetables and wholegrains
• healthy proteins, including fish and seafood, lean meat and poultry, legumes, nuts and seeds
• reduced fat dairy, such as unflavoured milk, yoghurt and cheese
• healthy fat choices, including nuts, seeds, avocados, olives and their oils for cooking
• herbs and spices to flavour foods, instead of adding salt
• water to quench your thirst
