One of my ongoing goals is to eat healthier in the new year. Yeah, I always say that. But it’s always nice to remind myself of the bad vs good foods. I’m not disciplined enough to completely cut out bad foods, but I can at least reduce my intake of them! Here’s a list of foods to eat or avoid for a healthier heart!

Avoid:
bacon – wahhh, my fave! :(
carbonated beverages – i’ve been drinking more water yay!
processed carbs (white bread, pasta, rice) – i’ve been trying to replace these with their brown/wheat alternatives

Eat More Of:
walnuts – 14 a day is recommended
olive oil – i see eating no knead bread dipped with olive oil in my foreseeable future!
red wine – one glass once or twice a week. i’m not a big wine drinker but I did find one I really like that’s also cheap! (thanks cheryl)
