NEWPORT BEACH, CA - Being heart-healthy is the theme for February. Valentine’s may be over, but that’s not stopping the month from celebrating, nor Fresh Solutions Network. As new data shows that heart disease affects younger adults (35–64) more frequently, Side Delights® suggests heart-healthy eating changes that can reduce the conditions that put them at risk.

Kathleen Triou, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fresh Solutions Network®“Potatoes are high in potassium, soluble fiber, magnesium, niacin, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which are important for heart health,” noted Kathleen Triou, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fresh Solutions Network. “Side Delights offers various product lines and recipes with unexpected ways to incorporate potatoes into a heart-healthy eating regimen. Some favorites from our website include low-sodium, potassium-rich Garden Potato Salad, On The Go Potatoes, and Carrot “Cake” Potato Performance Muffins, which make the perfect snack or breakfast.”

According to the release, obesity, eating unhealthy foods, and not enough physical activity can contribute to high cholesterol and high blood pressure, two of the most significant risks for disease. Experts recommend foods that are high in potassium and soluble fiber and low in trans-fat, saturated fat, added sugar, and sodium to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. One favorite tuber shoppers are already familiar with comes with these nutrients, making it a smart choice for promoting good cardiovascular health.

In honor of Heart Month, Side Delights® is suggesting heart-healthy eating changes that can reduce the conditions that put consumers at risk of heart disease

In a recent article, a Preventive Cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Ron Blankstein, reinforced the importance of healthy food choices such as fruits and vegetables for cardiovascular health, “when we talk about diet choices and diet availability, we’re in a society where there is a large consumption of processed foods that are readily available, fast food that at times is cheaper and more readily available and more accessible than healthier options like fruits and vegetables, and whole grains and food that is not processed.”
