Cardiac diet

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A cardiac diet also known as a heart healthy diet[1] is a diet focus on reducing sodium, fat and cholesterol intake. The diet concentrates on reducing "foods containing saturated fats and trans fats" and substituting them with "mono and polyunsaturated fats". The diet advocates increasing intake of "complex carbohydrates, soluble fiber and omega 3 fatty acids" and is recommended for people with cardiovascular disease or people looking for a healthier diet.[2]

The diet limits the intake of meat, dairy products, egg products, certain desserts and caffeine.

ovo-lacto vegetarianism are also viable.[4]

Commercial cardiac diets are also available for pets such as cats and dogs with cardiovascular health issues.[5]
