🥦 Your holiday plate can be joyful and heart-smart!

The DASH Eating Plan (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) helps lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol (LDL) while still enjoying delicious meals. 🍽️

This graphic from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) highlights simple swaps. Fill your plate with veggies, fruits, and whole grains, and limit sodium, sugary beverages, and sweets. Small changes today can support a heart-healthier tomorrow. ♥️
