For a healthy heart, eat more fruits and vegetables (five servings a day), whole grains (about six moderate servings daily) and lean protein. Have the veggies raw for the greatest dose of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Avoid saturated fats and simple sugars and food containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. To control your blood pressure, consume no more than 2400 milligrams of sodium per day. Drink plenty of water everyday.
