Heart Health Tip: Make Special Requests

Don't be shy about making special requests for heart-healthy dishes at restaurants. Many foods on the menu can be prepared with low-fat ingredients and less salt. Ask your server if the kitchen can prepare the dishes to meet your needs, or call the restaurant to explain your requirements beforehand. If your food isn't prepared as you requested, send it back.
