What foods are good for the heart?

A healthy diet and lifestyle can reduce your risk of:--
* Heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke
* Conditions that lead to heart disease, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity
* Other chronic health problems, including type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer.
Adopt DASH diet (Mediterranean diet). Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet, which includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish, vegetables, poultry, and egg whites. Use monounsaturated oils such as olive, peanut, and canola oils or polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower, soy, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils. Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.

I would say lean meat, plenty of fish (real) and foods with wholegrain and plenty of fresh vegetables, eat good grain cerial.

Unfortunately, the food should be low sodium. There's a tendency for people to make the food bland when trying to avoid sodium though it doesn't have to be. I've attached a link to a Congestive Heart Failure website created by a CHF patient but it takes a lot of trial and error to avoid the bland.

Cheerios! It's the best tasting heart healthy thing I can think of.
Besides that, lowering her daily sodium intake will decrease blood pressure, and in turn helps the heart. So use sodium alternatives to flavor her food such as garlic, pepper, oregano, or cinnamon.
Lemon juice or flavored vinegar can replace the sodium in soups, salads, and seafood dishes.

sounds weird but apparently something in this type of dark chocolate is good for the heart, My uncle has had a couple of heart attacks before and for a while he was extremely sick but he has started eating this type of stuff like dark chocolate as a snack. (Its not just dark chocolate its some sort of type, you should ask next time you go to the shops)

Stay away from her.

does your friend have a heart condition, or is this the proverbial heart of emotions that we are curing? Fiber is good for the heart. Hot soup, pasta and ice cream are good for the other heart.
