The good news: You’ve already got a head start against heart disease by cooking most meals at home. Those who cook more meals at home are more likely to eat less saturated fat, sugar, and salt–substances that contribute to your heart disease risk.
Lunch Replacing processed lunch meat with cottage cheese or rotisserie chicken are easy steps you can take to reduce your risk of heart disease. This tasty high-protein toast is creamy and crunchy at the same time. Add plenty of fresh herbs to amplify the flavor and heart health benefits. Buffalo Chicken Salad Mix ½ cup rotisserie chicken meat with 1 ½ teaspoons mayonnaise, 1 ½ teaspoons Greek yogurt, and hot sauce to taste.
