diet


Although the term diet is commonly used to describe a weight-loss plan, the primary definition is what a person eats and drinks. Diet plays a major factor in lowering your risk for heart disease and stroke. To keep your heart healthy and avoid those risks, the American Heart Association recommends a balanced diet low in added sugars, sodium and cholesterol.
