Healthy Heart

In my study, I have learned there are three most important organs of our body, brain, heart, and lungs. Each organ has an important work in our body, and every organ connects each other. If you know the definition of "death" then you know what I mean.

Heart is a small organ which has big role play in our body. Its job is to make sure that all of our body's part get enough blood, nutrients, etc. So, we must keep our heart healthy. The question is "how?". My answers are by doing exercise, eat well, and live well.

Here are some guidelines which if followed can help manage a healthier heart:

1. You daily diet plan should only have 10-12% of the total consumed calories from the saturated fats.

2. Your total calories of the day, must not be more than 28% from the fat.

3. Try to restrict the daily in take of sodium below 2500 milligrams a day.

4. Mark your calorie level (your doctor will help you know the exact appropriate level) and just take enough calories that would help you to maintain a healthy weight and would help to reduce the cholesterol level in your blood.

4. You must not take more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol daily, as it would lead to a build up of plaques in your arteries which surely increases the risk of a stroke and a heart attack.

6. Try to avoid butter and margarine as much as you can. For this purpose you can use salsa or even low-fat yogurt to top your baked potatoes instead of butter.

7. Make the nut or seed oil a part of your diet, as it would help you to have a healthier heart. It can even be canola oil or olive oil.

8. Try to avoid the addition of fried chicken patties in your diet plan and add fish or a piece of skinless chicken breast. Fish also helps to lower your blood fats.

9. Add beans and peas to your daily diet plans as they are a rich source of protein and they are free of cholesterol and low at fat.

10. Try to add fruits and vegetables to your diet as much as you can.

11. Reduce the salt in your overall meals.

If you keep all these points in view while designing your diet plan you will surely have the most appropriate diet plan for your healthier heart.
