Heart-Healthy Breakfast FAQ
What is a heart-healthy breakfast?
A heart-healthy breakfast includes foods rich in fiber, lean proteins and healthy fats while keeping added sugars and saturated fats to a minimum. Whole grains, fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds and avocado provide energy and are foods that lower cholesterol naturally to help protect your heart.
What are the healthiest foods to eat for breakfast?
Some of the healthiest breakfast foods for heart health include oatmeal, berries, flaxseed, nuts, non-starchy vegetables and whole grains. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, chia seeds and flaxseeds, are particularly heart-friendly and can easily be added to omelets, blended into smoothies or stirred into oats.
What breakfast foods should I avoid for heart health?
No foods need to be completely avoided on a heart-healthy diet, but it’s a good idea to limit foods high in saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. This includes many processed breakfast meats, cereals, pastries and fried breakfast foods.
