 here's another thrive tip from Kaiser Permanente in Fox 12. Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in both men and women, but a heart healthy diet can help stop or even reverse heart disease. Two most important thing that you can do to prevent having another heart attack or another heart surgery is eating right and exercise. A heart healthy diet includes daily consumption of fruits, veggies, very grains and fish while limiting red meats, saturated fats and cholesterol, as well as unhealthy fats added sugar and sodium. Eating only the amount of calories you need is also recommended. It doesn't have to be a drastic diet change where you completely avoid all animal fat and just go a stricter plant diet. Most of the times when you make such drastic changes in your diet, you can't stay with it long term. Remember to take it slow. Continuous and small changes can improve your heart health and reduce chances of heart disease. This has been another thrive tip sponsored by Kaiser Permanente in Fox 12.
