Eating a whole-grain
breakfast seven times a week has been associated with a 28 percent lower risk
of heart failure according to statistics from the Physician¡¯s Health Study. Researchers
analyzed data from 1982 through 2006 on 21,410 male physicians at an average
age of 53.7 years.
Eating whole-grain cereal a
few times a week also had heart-health benefits. The risk of heart failure
decreased by 22 percent in those who ate it two to six times per week and by 14
percent in those who ate whole-grain cereal once per week.
While it¡¯s best not to shake salt on all your food, most sodium in American diets comes from processed foods and snacks. To reduce sodium in your diet, the Mayo Clinic recommends cutting back on these foods or eliminating them:
¡ö Canned soup and dry soup mixes
¡ö Processed meats such as deli items and
hot dogs
¡ö Prepackaged dinners, side dishes.
¡ö Seasoning mixes, soy and Worcestershire
sauces
¡ö Snack foods such as chips.
¡ö Instant cooked cereals
When purchasing canned or processed food, check label for salt content
