Choose Whole-Grain

Choose whole-grain instead of multi-grain. Whole-grain means the entire grain kernel, including all the fiber, has been included. Multi-grain means only that more than one type of grain was used--and those grains could be refined and stripped of fiber and nutrients.

Dress Your Salad

Dress your salad with avocado instead of store-bought creamy dressings. You'll increase your intake of folate and lower your intake of unhealthy fats--which ultimately will protect your heart. For a simple dressing, puree avocado and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
