If you’re looking for ways to improve your heart health, it’s good to know that only few changes in your diet can make significant impact. These are a few easy swaps for better heart health.

Eat Fruit

Instead of reaching for a candy bar or ice cream after lunch, treat yourself with a nice fruit salad instead. We don’t need to stress that fruit is super healthy, rich in fiber and great for blood pressure and weight loss.

Skip Mayo

Needles to say that mayonnaise is high in fat and calories, so next time you’re making a sandwich or a salad try to replace it with a healthier option—such as non-fat Greek yogurt or avocado.

Bake or Grill Your Fish

We always hear fish is extremely healthy, and we should eat it more often, yet the way we prep our fish plays a big role here. Instead of frying it in fat, it’s better to grill or bake your fish as a healthier and more delicious option.

Make Your Own Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a popular breakfast option for many people, most of whom are not aware of the fact that your typical instant oatmeal is packed with sugar. More complicated, but healthier option would be to buy oats and other ingredients you like and make your own oatmeal for breakfast.
