5. Reduce Added Sugars
Excess sugar contributes to weight gain, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Limit sweetened beverages, pastries, and packaged foods high in added sugars. Instead, flavor meals naturally with spices, herbs, or small amounts of fruit. The American Heart Association recommends keeping added sugar intake below 25 grams per day for women and 36 grams for men.
Bonus: Include Healthy Fats
Not all fats are harmful. Healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon provide omega-3 fatty acids, which help raise “good” HDL cholesterol and protect heart health. Snack on walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to add beneficial fats to your diet.
