If you want to have a healthy heart, you have to learn how to eat a healthy heart diet. All of the food you eat effects the health of your heart. Learn which foods are heart smart and try to include them as a regular part of your diet.
For a more detailed guideline on a healthy heart diet, and fats and fatty acids, follow these guidelines:
* Daily fat intake shouldn't exceed 30% of calories
* Saturated fatty acid (the 'bad' type) should be less than 10% of calories
* Polyunsaturated fats
corporate comedy (the 'good' type) should be less than 10% of calories
