Hi Arlene,

 

Fats and fiber significantly contribute to heart health, so I want to direct you to two articles that will help get you started in these two areas.

 

Cholesterol - The Low-Down on Saturated and Trans Fats

Dietary Fiber - 4 Tips to Lower Cholesterol with Fiber

 

Foods to add to your diet for heart health include fruits, vegetables, fish, low fat dairy, lean meats, and high fiber/whole grain products.

 

As far as a specific list, no I do not have one.  Both of the articles above will give you a list of foods related to those two areas.  Maybe someone else will chime in with a list location for additional heart healthy options.

 

All the best,
