It's definitely a happy Friday when you remember there is power in your plate!
It is so easy to get caught up in the rush of the week but managing your health often starts with the small choices you make at the kitchen table. If you are living with a condition like Hypertension, we want to remind you that your diet is one of the most powerful tools you have to feel your best every day. We focus heavily on this during our clinical programs because we know that better patient outcomes happen when the whole family is involved in the journey.
A great way to show your heart some love this Friday is by looking at how you season your meals. High sodium can put unnecessary strain on your body so we often suggest swapping out the salt shaker for fresh herbs, citrus, or even heart-healthy fats like those found in fresh salmon. These small dietary components are a huge part of successful disease management and our team is always here to provide the teaching and support needed to make these changes feel simple and sustainable!
Friday Meal Inspo:
If you are looking for a delicious way to put this into practice today, try this heart-healthy pairing that focuses on flavor without the extra salt:
The Protein: Pan-seared or baked Salmon, which is rich in Omega-3s to support your cardiovascular health.
The Sides: Roasted Brussels sprouts tossed with fresh garlic and shallots for a natural, savory punch. For a perfect finish, add a light drizzle of honey to taste. The sweetness beautifully balances the earthy greens while keeping your meal nutritious and satisfying.
