GLEN ABBEY UNITED CHURCH REV. TED VANCE 1469 Nottinghill Gate, Oakville 905-825-5292 www.glenabbeyunitedchurch.com May is Hypertension Awareness Month. It's and a great reminder for us to check in on our heart health. Hypertension, also known as high blood pres- sure, is the most common heart health issue that of- ten goes undetected, but simple lifestyle changes and regular blood pressure monitoring can help lower your risk. While your family doc- tor and local pharmacists are great resources, how we nourish our bodies can also positively affect our heart health. As your local registered dietitian, here are my top tips for taking care of your heart: ADD HEART HEALTHY FOODS Diet is a big factor in heart health, but making any changes to our diet can feel daunting. One tip to make it easier is to look at what you can add to your diet instead of focusing on what should be removed or minimized. A great way to start is by adding a plant- based meal to your dinner lineup once a week. Plant- based proteins are a great addition to a heart-healthy diet as they contain fibre, protein and little to no sat- urated fats. NOT ALL FATS INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE Fat can be broken into three main categories: trans, saturated and unsat- urated. Canada's Food Guide recommends limit- ing your intake of trans fats and saturated fats, as re- search has shown excess consumption is linked to heart disease. These fats are primarily found in ani- mal products such as meat and dairy, in addition to processed convenience foods such as baked goods and fried foods. However, unsaturated fats are a good option, as they can help lower your "bad" LDL cho- lesterol and raise your "good" HDL cholesterol. Nuts and seeds, avocados, plant-based oils and fatty fish are all great sources of unsaturated fats. Try swapping butter for oils rich in unsaturated fats like olive oil, avocado oil or canola oil. FIBRE IS HEART HEALTHY Another nutrient that's important for a healthy heart is fibre. Fibre can al- so be divided into subcate- gories: insoluble and solu- ble. Soluble fibre dissolves in water, acting like a gel, and can help lower choles- terol and reduce fat ab- sorption. Good sources of soluble fibre are oat bran, barley, legumes (peas, beans, lentils) and chia or flax seeds. Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water but helps keep us regular and promotes a healthy di- gestive system and sources include nuts, whole grains, vegetables and fruits. It's important to include both forms of fibre in our diet; however, soluble fibre is es- pecially recommended for its heart health benefits. Try to aim for 10 grams of soluble fibre per day.
