Hello, good people. A lot of my family members suffer from various cardiovascular diseases. I am still healthy and I would like to stay in that way. I would like to ask someone to recommend me the diet that is best for heart health. I would appreciate it very much. Bye!

Hello to you too. As far as I know less than 30% of total calories should be from fat. 8-10% should be saturated fat. Sodium should be taken less than 2400 milligrams per day. Cholesterol should be taken less than 300 milligrams. Your diet should be balanced to maintain cholesterol blood level in desired limits. You should also combine diet with physical activity. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about some details. They will make a detailed plan for you. I hope I've helped. Bye!
