One way to reduce your risk for heart disease
is to cut back on sodium, saturated fat and
cholesterol. But that doesn’t mean you have to cut
back on flavor.
The American Heart Association offers these tips
for heart-healthy cooking:
Avoid salt. Instead use spices and herbs to
enhance flavor.
Don’t fry in oil. Instead, stir-fry, broil or grill.
When roasting, use a rack so the fat drips away,
and baste with fat-free liquids like wine, tomato
juice or lemon juice.
Trim the fat and cholesterol from recipes.
Substitute ingredients to reduce saturated fat
without sacrificing flavor.
