Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., but the good news is—you can take steps to lower your risk! Small changes, like cutting back on salt and staying active, can make a big difference.
Nutrition plays a key role in heart health!
Adding heart-healthy foods like spinach, berries, and nuts to your meals can help keep your heart strong.
Try this heart-healthy side salad:
Toss together fresh spinach, chopped almonds, and diced strawberries.
Then, top it off with NC EFNEP’s Build-Your-Own Dressing for a delicious, low-sodium option. (Remember to wash and pat dry your spinach and strawberries!)
