Heart-healthy eating can be quick, easyBy Amye H. Turner
Winn Army Community Hospital Public Affairs
It's 5:30 p.m. You just got home from picking up your child at
soccer practice on your way home from work. You are hungry and
so are your children. You were tempted to grab a quick burger on
the way home but decided not to because you are trying to eat
heart-healthy and have family time while everyone sits together at
the dinner table.
What can you cook that will be heart-healthy, quick and tasty?
According to Raleighetta Varnedoe, registered dietitian,
Outpatient Nutrition Clinic, Winn Army Community Hospital, the
possibilities are limited only by your imagination. "You can do
healthy fast food with just a little planning. Some almost 'instant'
options include using the grill; utilizing the crock-pot; or cranking
up the rotisserie. Even though we live in a fast-paced world we
need to get back to eating healthy to show our children how to
cat," she said.
Varnedoe stresses the importance of eating right to her clients
on an individual basis and in the
classes she teaches. She empha-
sizes the importance of monitor-
ing fat and cholesterol intake. "A
heart-healthy diet is one in
which no more than 30 percent
of your daily total calories come
from fat. Fat can be saturated,
polyunsaturated and monounsat-
urated. Ideally your diet would
include 10 percent calories of
each," Varnedoe said.
Saturated fats are solid atroom temperature. This type of
fat includes poultry skin, butter,
bacon and marbling in meat.
Saturated fats are the biggest
culprit in heart disease.
Polyunsaturated and monoun-
saturated fats are liquid oils.
Polyunsaturated fat examples
include safflower, sunflower and
corn oils. Monounsaturated fats
include canola, peanut and olive
oils. Your body can utilize this
type of fat efficiently.
"Polyunsaturated and monoun-
saturated fats are the 'good guys'
because they help to lower the
lipids in your blood stream, thus
helping to lower cholesterol lev-
els, "Varnedoe said.
In regards to cholesterol,
Varnedoe notes that cholesterol
itself is not bad. There is good
cholesterol, HDL, and bad cho-
lesterol, LDL. "We all have cho-
lesterol in our bodies. It is a fat-
like substance found in the
blood, muscle and tissue of man
and animals. Cholesterolbecomes a contributor to heart disease when LDL cholesterol lev-
els are elevated," Varnedoe said. "It is best if a person's total cho-
lesterol doesn't exceed 200. Ideally, the LDL should not exceed
130 and the HDL should be 35 or greater," she said.
In her monthly seminar on cholesterol, Varnedoe focuses on
how to lower LDL cholesterol levels through changes in eating
habits and lifestyle. She also defines saturated fats, polyunsaturat-
ed fats and oils, monounsaturated fats, etc. She instructs attendees
how to create a healthy, balanced nutrition plan which leads to a
"heart healthy" lifestyle.
