The American Heart Association predicts that cardiovascular diseases will increase by about 10% over the next 20 years and that 40% of all adults or 116 million people will have at least one form of this disease. Healthy eating is an important strategy that is recommended to help manage the risk for heart disease. Included in this strategy is eating more fiber-rich grain foods. Fiber from cereal grains has many health benefits. Fortunately, "Kellogg's Heart Healthy Selection" cereals provide a good source of fiber to help make your heart-healthy cereal choices deliciously easy.

More Healthy Habits You Can Take to Heart

Don't miss a beat and look to these tips to help manage your heart health.
•Look for "Kellogg's Heart Healthy Selection" cereal. Kellogg's heart-healthy cereals are great ways to kick start your intake of fiber and whole grain each day. Additionally, they are low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol and provide many key nutrients that the body needs.
•Pick fruits and veggies. Their vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber do your heart good. Many contain potassium, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure. Adding fruits to cereal can really pack a nutritional punch to your morning breakfast bowl.
•Limit sodium. Eating less sodium (found in salt and other ingredients) may help support healthy blood pressure. Look for reduced - or low - sodium versions of frozen dinners, soups, canned vegetables, and sauces. Prepare foods with less salt and zing up the taste with herbs, spices, lemon juice or flavored vinegar.
•Trim saturated fat, cholesterol and trans fat. They not only raise the calories but can raise your risk of heart disease. Choose lean cuts of meat (with "loin" or "round" in the name) and skinless poultry. Use low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese. Buy packaged foods labeled "0 grams" trans fat per serving. Low saturated fat (1 gram or 5% or less of the Daily Value/serving) is ideal.
•Put more fish on the menu. Eat "oily" fish like salmon, trout and herring at least twice a week for their heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids, and prepare by baking, broiling, grilling, or poaching.
