17 | Healing Hearts: A Clinician's Guide to the Cardiac Diet
Manage episode 384285003 series 3529452
Join Colleen and the heart dietitian, Kiran Campbell, as we unpack the basics of a heart-healthy diet. Having a cardiac event is life-changing, not only for the patient, but for their loved ones too. Telling the patient to "just follow a cardiac diet" is not helpful and doesn't lead to lasting changes that will protect the patient from having a recurrent cardiac event. In today's episode, we break down the components of a cardiac diet so that you can help your patient choose their food wisely and make changes that are sustainable.
You'll learn:
- How to ask the right questions that will guide your nutrition recommendations
- The different types of fats and which one's are cardioprotective and which ones the patient should limit.
- The American Heart Association's recommendation for daily sodium intake and which foods are high in sodium that the patient needs to be aware of
- The role fiber plays in heart health and which foods you should recommend your patients eat more of.
