Improved cardiovascular health: A heart-healthy diet can help to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve blood flow, reducing your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
Better weight management: Eating a heart-healthy diet can help you to maintain a healthy weight, reducing strain on your heart and improving your overall health and well-being.

We know it’s not always easy to change your eating habits, so we are here to help.

Through a grant from the WellSpan York Health Foundation, our team of community health educators and clinical dietitians have come together to share some quick and easy heart healthy recipes and how to prepare them.

An overall heart healthy diet consists of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy sources of protein like nuts, fish and seafood, vegetable oils, minimally processed foods, and foods with low added sugar.
