A heart-healthy eating plan limits sodium (salt), saturated fat, added sugars, and alcohol. Understanding nutrition labels can help you choose healthier foods.

Limit sodium

Adults and children over age 14 should eat less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. Children younger than age 14 may need to eat even less sodium each day based on their sex and age. If you have high blood pressure, you may need to limit sodium even more. Talk to your healthcare provider about the amount of sodium that is right for you or your child. Try these shopping and cooking tips to help you choose and prepare foods that are lower in sodium:

Choose low-sodium , reduced-sodium, or no-salt-added products.

Choose fresh, frozen, or no-salt-added foods instead of pre-seasoned, sauce-marinated, brined, or processed meats, poultry, and vegetables. Eat at home more often so you can cook food from scratch, which will allow you to control the amount of sodium in your meals.

Flavor foods with herbs and spice s instead of salt.

When cooking, limit your use of premade sauces, mixes, and instant products such as rice, noodles, and ready-made pasta.

Limit saturated fats

Saturated or “bad” fats come from animal sources such as butter, cheese, and fatty meats. They should make up less than 10% of your daily calories. Unsaturated fats are also known as “good” fats and are found in vegetable oils and nuts. Eat leaner, lower-fat, and skinless meats instead of fatty cuts of meat and chicken with skin.

Consume lower-fat dairy products instead of whole-milk.

Use certain vegetable oils (such as olive and canola oil) instead of butter, lard, and coconut and palm oils.

You should limit the amount of calories you get each day from added sugars. This will help you choose nutrient-rich foods and stay within your daily calorie limit. Some foods, such as fruit, contain natural sugars. Added sugars do not occur naturally in foods but instead are used to sweeten foods and drinks. They include brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, raw sugar, and sucrose. In the United States, sweetened drinks, snacks, and sweets are the major sources of added sugars. Sweetened drinks include soft drinks or sodas, fruit drinks, sweetened coffee and tea, energy drinks, alcoholic drinks, and favored waters. Sweetened drinks account for about half of all added sugars consumed. Snacks and sweets include grain-based desserts such as cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, doughnuts; dairy desserts such as ice cream, frozen desserts, and pudding; candies; sugars; jams; syrups; and sweet toppings.

Lower how much sugar you eat or drink.

Choose drinks without added sugar such as water, low-fat or fat-free milk, or 100% vegetable juice.

Choose unsweetened foods for snacks or dessert.

Eat sweetened drinks, snacks, and desserts less often and in smaller amounts.

Limit alcohol

Talk to your healthcare provider about how much alcohol you drink. They may recommend that you reduce the amount of alcohol you drink or that you stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol can:

Raise your blood pressure and levels of triglycerides fats in your blood

Contribute to or worsen heart failure in some people, such as some people who have cardiomyopathy

Raise your risk of other diseases such as cancer

If you do not drink, you should not start. You should not drink if you are pregnant, are under the age of 21, taking certain medicines, or if you have certain medical conditions, including heart failure.
