THE PROVIDENCE HEART GUIDE | 2022
Your Guide to a Heart-Healthy Life How to Lower Risk, Reduce Stress and Be Your Best Weight + 12 Easy Recipes
H e r e w e g o , a g a i n . So much has changed, and so much unfortunately remains the same. The new year reminds us of our ongoing challenges as a community—living through the pandemic, seeking social justice, supporting a healthier environment—and it’s also a time to look within and reflect on what’s important to us, as individuals. It’s also a reminder that how we approach our goals impacts how we might achieve them. One thing we have learned over the past few years is that we often disagree. We want different things. We need different things. And we recognize more than ever that we need to do a better job of listening to what is important to others and trying to understand where other people are coming from. Thinking with your heart can help. It happens when you share what’s important to you, and when you respect another person’s perspective. Thinking with your heart means starting with kindness, moving with compassion, and reflecting with gratitude. And keeping your heart in mind when making everyday decisions has never been more important. You make the right choice for your heart when you select foods that are heart-healthy or when you make a last-minute decision to take a walk and get some fresh air. You keep your heart in mind when you stop smoking or pass on the saltshaker or sometimes skip dessert. You think with your heart when you make a doctor’s appointment because something just doesn’t feel right. When you think with your heart, your heart can inspire you to think differently. Sharing compassion and kindness with yourself and your community is good for you and great for your health. Did you know that helping others can reduce your risk of high blood pressure, depression, and chronic pain? Kindness is its own kind of medicine. It seems like a great way to start another year. Or even just another day. We look forward to supporting you at every step.

BASICS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Up to 80% of chronic illness can be prevented by the lifestyle choices we make every day. Research shows longevity is highest, and chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and metabolic syndrome are lowest in populations that: 1 2 3 4 5 4
Eat a heart-healthy plant-focused diet full of whole foods. Walk outside throughout the day. Slow down and de-stress with friends and family. Get enough sleep. Know their fitness and weight goals.
Long-term stress can increase inflammation, sleep disturbances, and the risk of chronic disease. A majority of Americans report feeling stress daily.
9 WAYS TO DE-STRESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Schedule time for rest
Go outdoors regularly. Reduce caffeine intake. Listen to calming music. Learn to say “No.” Connect with others: laugh, cuddle, play, dine. Write, paint, try other forms of artistic expression. Take slow, steady breaths for 5 minutes.9 Practice gratitude. Spend time with a pet. w5
GET MOVING Find something that is fun and easy to become part of your daily routine. Stretch, move, lift! Aim for 30–60 minutes daily:
• Get up during commercials on TV. • Do housework: sweep, mop, vacuum, dust, garden. • Be active outside: walk the dog, play, do yoga, tai chi. • Stand during phone calls and meetings.
The more you move, the more you: • Reduce chronic inflammation • Prevent cardiovascular disease • Lower cholesterol and blood pressure • Manage stress, improve mood • Support immune system 6
• Decrease risk of depression and memory loss • Improve sleep • Control weight • Ease chronic back pain • Prevent osteoporosis
CHOOSE WATER At least half of your daily fluid intake should be water. Tips: • The lighter the color of your urine, the better hydrated you are. • Don’t lean on caffeine. It can interfere with normal sleep cycles. • Eat fruits and vegetables: 20% of your daily water intake comes from fresh foods.
GET MORE SLEEP Studies continue to show that sleep deprivation can increase inflammation and the risk of chronic disease. Getting 7 to 9 hours will help you: • Maintain healthy weight • Decrease risk of diabetes • Strengthen your immune system • Lower risk of high blood pressure • Reduce stress, elevate mood

WHAT ARE YOUR NUMBERS? These guidelines are based on large population studies, but each person has a unique health profile. It is important to create a partnership with your healthcare provider to understand what your particular numbers mean for you. In recent years, changes in guidelines for blood pressure call for earlier treatment to lower the potential for later complications.

MAKE YOUR DIET A WAY OF LIFE Health is a choice we make each day, many times a day. And a big part of that is the food we choose. Do we order fast food, or make time to cook together? Do we shop for fresh produce and meats, or do we buy highly processed industrial foods? Do we have a cup of herbal tea after dinner to ease the stress we’re feeling, or eat a pint of ice cream? 10
Cook at home mor e often
MOSTLY PLANTS ON YOUR PLATE Making fruits and vegetables the focal point of every meal will help you meet your recommended amount each day. Fill half your plate with non-starchy produce.

THE BIG DEAL ABOUT FIBER If you make just one change to your diet, eat more foods high in fiber. Here are six ways fiber works for you. 1 2 3 4 5 6
Feel full longer. Aids in healthy gut bacteria that may prevent inflammation. Supports regular bowel movements and colon health. Reduces risk of diabetes and heart disease. Helps promote and maintain weight loss. Lowers LDL cholesterol levels.
Women should aim for 21–25g of fiber daily, and men, 30–38g. Try these:
sh se fre o o h C for fruit t desser
12
10g Artichoke (1 medium) 6-9g Lentils, split peas, beans (½ cup); pear (1 raw) 4-5g Green peas, garbanzo beans, bulgur (½ cup cooked); avocado, carrots, raspberries, blackberries (½ cup); apple (1 medium); sweet potato (1 medium w/skin) 3-4g Collards, parsnips, winter squash (½ cup cooked); banana, orange (1 medium); almonds, pistachios, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed (1 oz); chia seeds (1 Tbsp) 2-3g Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, amaranth, barley, quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, buckwheat groats (½ cup cooked)
EAT A RAINBOW OF WHOLE FOODS Variety matters! Color equals nutrition, and a full range of color offers a full range of vitamins and minerals. Beets, cranberries, cherries, kidney beans, raspberries, red lentils, red peppers, rhubarb, strawberries, tomatoes. Apricot, carrots, grapefruit, mango, oranges, papaya, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, yams, cantaloupe, peaches. Summer squash, winter squash, yellow lentils, yellow peppers, pineapple, yellow tomato, rutabaga, bananas, lemons.
Eat at least 3 colors at each meal.
Artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, kiwi, cabbage, collards, kale, okra, peas, avocado, grapes. Blackberries, blueberries, plums, purple grapes, purple cabbage, currants, eggplant, purple carrots, dates, figs, prunes. Almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia, whole wheat, brown rice, oats, pinto beans, bulgur. White beans, cauliflower, parsnips, turnips, garlic, ginger, jicama, shallots, kohlrabi, onions. 13
BE SMART ABOUT SUGAR, SALT, AND FAT Added sugar and salt can lead to inflammation and chronic diseases. And, yes, fats are essential for good health.
HOW MUCH ADDED SUGAR?
LESS SODIUM, MORE POTASSIUM
Highly processed foods account for more than 80% of our sodium intake. If you eliminate processed foods, your sodium is reduced dramatically.
Focus on eating foods high in potassium and magnesium, minerals that regulate blood sugar, nerve function, and blood pressure.
THE TRUTH ABOUT FATS Fat is an essential nutrient for optimal health.
14
Cut b ac on add k ed sugars
Limit added sugar; it has no nutritional value. When reading a nutrition label, remember 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon. Aim daily for less than 24 grams (6 tsp) for women and 36 grams (9 tsp) for men.
Check ingredient lists on packages for any added sugars. It’s not just in cookies and cakes—it’s also in breads, tomato sauces, flavored yogurts, salad dressings, cereals.
Potassium rich foods: sweet potatoes, squash, coconut water, bananas, avocado, spinach, Swiss chard, legumes. Magnesium rich foods: leafy greens, sesame and pumpkin seeds, legumes, whole grains.
Focus on fats from natural sources like olives, avocados and nuts and the oils produced from them. Omega-3 fats can reduce inflammation and lower risk of certain chronic diseases.
More omega-3s: • Oily fish: salmon, herring, sardines • Flaxseed • Walnuts • Grass-fed meat and dairy products • Pasture-raised chicken and eggs 15

REBUILD YOUR PANTRY
As you cook more, stock ingredients for a healthy diet: Frozen fruits and vegetables: blueberries, peas, spinach, broccoli Plain yogurt: for snacking and cooking Whole grains: oats, brown rice, barley, quinoa, and whole wheat pastas Dry legumes: lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, pinto beans Seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, chia Nuts and dried fruits: for snacking, cooking, and baking Canned whole foods: black beans, kidney beans, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, tuna, salmon, sardines Healthy oils: olive oil, avocado, peanut oil, safflower oil Healthy sweeteners: honey, maple syrup, dates, raisins, applesauce Dried herbs and spices: cinnamon, oregano, turmeric, cumin
HOW TO READ THE NEW NUTRITION LABEL All packaged foods and drinks are now required to have this improved Nutrition Facts label. Choose foods higher in dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium and lower in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. There are four major improvements:
