Eating a heart healthy diet is not only about limiting high cholesterol foods; it's also about limiting foods high in saturated fats and trans fat. Eating smart begins by learning how to read a food label and being aware of different types of fat and cholesterol in foods you eat.
If a healthy heart diet does not lower cholesterol enough, your healthcare provider may recommend increasing your soluble fiber intake and/or adding other cholesterol-lowering foods to your diet.
