Tips for a Healthy Heart

3. Eat Breakfast

The first meal of the day is indeed the most important one. You need to jumpstart your day with a nutritious breakfast that will give you essential vitamins and minerals. Although eggs and bacon sound (and smell) appealing, they are not necessarily the best combination for heart health. You can opt for whole grains such as toast, cereal, or oatmeal. Low-fat dairy products like milk, yogurt, or cheese are ideal. You really cannot go wrong with fruits and veggies, either. As just mentioned, a handful of nuts is healthy or a peanut butter spread. If you are craving something meaty, try turkey bacon as a lean protein source or some peanut butter.
