Learn to Love Your Heart with What You Eat: International Food Information Council Foundation Debuts Heart Health Resources Newswise: (Washington, D.C., February 18, 2011) February is American Heart Month and a healthful diet and active lifestyle are some of the best weapons people have to fight heart disease. According to the International Food Information Council Functional Foods/Foods for Health Consumer Trending Survey, cardiovascular health risks, including high blood pressure, stroke and high cholesterol, are the top health concern for many Americans. Despite this concern, people struggle to incorporate heart healthy foods into their diet. For example, while eight out of 10 Americans are aware of the relationship between omega 3s and heart health, less than half (48 percent) of Americans are currently consuming omega 3s for this benefit. 101 Optimal Life Foods Book In this revolutionary guide, leading nutritionist David Grotto shares everyday foods that will help to remedy health issues large and small. From headaches to joint pain, acne to anxiety, chronically cold feet to depression, 101 Optimal Life Foods takes on thirty of the most common health issues and shows you how to introduce healing fare to your diet through delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes. Inside youll discover that: Chocolate, tea, and dried plums reduce the signs of aging skin. Combining walnuts and cherries can lead to the best sleep of your life. Artichoke leaves bring relief from common stomach ailments. Oysters can alleviate the effects of crippling migraines. Wasabi helps treat bad breath. Consuming a diet that is low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol and sodium can help reduce your risk for heart disease, according to David Grotto, RD. But thats only one side of the equation. It is also important to choose foods that can promote heart health such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains and fiber. Other foods that promote heart health include: Nuts: As a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and unsaturated fat, nuts are a powerhouse food that can promote heart health. Almonds and hazelnuts are also high in vitamin E, which helps promote the function of a healthy cardiovascular system. Heart Healthy Fats: Both monounsaturated fat (olive, canola, peanut or high oleic safflower oil) or polyunsaturated fat (sunflower, corn or soybean oil) may help promote heart health. Salmon, sardines, herring, trout and tuna are terrific sources of omega 3 fatty acids, as are eggs and some fortified brands of peanut butter, mayonnaise, cooking oil, cereal, pasta and nutrition bars. Soy Protein: Getting your daily protein from soy sources can also help to reduce your risk of heart disease. Look for soy protein in nutrition bars, fortified soy beverages, tofu, soy cheese and edamame or try adding soy protein to your favorite smoothie. Sterols and Stanols: These plant based food components help block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels. They are found in foods like corn, soy, wheat and some fortified foods like soft table spreads, orange juice and yogurt. Dark Chocolate: Some dark chocolates can contain helpful components called flavanols. These cocoa derived flavanols have been shown to help support the cardiovascular system, which helps move blood to and from the heart. When included in moderation, dark chocolate can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. These are just a few of the many healthful foods and food components that can promote heart health. To help people incorporate more heart healthy foods into their diet, the International Food Information Council Foundation has developed two new resources including a video, Foods for Health: Eating for Heart Health produced in partnership with registered dietitian David Grotto, author of 101 Optimal Life Foods. In addition to the video, a new online guide provides detailed insights on eating for heart health. The heart health video is the fourth in the Foundations Foods for Health series. Videos on Healthy Kids and Families, Immune Health and Weight Management are available on our FoodInsight TV channel, which features a wide range of videos on food and health topics. Future Foods for Health video topics that will be released in the next few months include digestive health and healthy aging.
