February is the month of romance, Valentines Day, and the introduction of spring. But it is also a month for Heart Health Awareness. Health is very important to us at A-1 Home Care, so we will be focusing on this today.
For heart healthy seniors, lots of attention should be paid to eating habits. Heart disease and heart attacks are results of unhealthy lifestyles. We encourage seniors to ask their caregivers to provide clean meals that follow the guidelines below.
You should eat mainly:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Grains like whole-grain barley, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, quinoa, and sorghum
- Fat-free or low-fat versions of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other milk products
- Fish, skinless poultry, lean meats, dry beans, eggs, and nuts
Also, you should limit the amount of foods you eat that contain:
- Saturated fat
- Trans fat
- Cholesterol
- Sodium
- Added sugars
A-1 Home Care provides services in Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, La Crescenta, Alhambra, Rosemead, Arcadia, El Monte and Monterey Park.
