The American Heart Association, which is dedicated to educating the public about ways to make changes that will benefit their hearts and bodies, does a great job of providing valuable information on their website that can help anyone looking to make a change. I recently found a "shopping guide" that helps consumers shop smart and buy heart healthy foods.
One of the more emphasized areas, the fruits and vegetables, struck me as very interesting:
We've always known that we provide heart healthy juice that has no added sugar or caffeine, but it's great to have the AHA reminding everyone about the importance of a healthy diet!

One of the more emphasized areas, the fruits and vegetables, struck me as very interesting:
- Be sure to buy and eat plenty of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables that are deeply colored throughout – such as spinach, carrots, peaches and
berries – tend to be higher in vitamins and minerals than others, such as potatoes and corn. - When fresh foods aren't available, choose frozen or canned vegetables and fruits in water without added sugars, saturated and trans fat, or salt
- Buy more fruits and vegetables that are good sources of fiber, including beans, peas, oranges, bananas, strawberries and apples.
- Stock up on raw vegetables for snacks such as carrot and celery sticks, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and cauliflower.
- For desserts, buy fresh or canned fruits (in water without added sugars), dried fruit (without added sugars), and gelatin that contains fruit, instead of baked goods and sweets.
