American Heart Association Healthy Diet Guidelines
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes dietary and lifestyle recommendations for general heart health. 1
These recommendations are for healthy adults and children older than age 2 as well as people who already have health problems such as coronary artery disease , diabetes , metabolic syndrome , or heart failure .
The AHA recommends that you:
- Eat a variety of fruit and vegetable servings every day. Dark green, deep orange, or yellow fruits and vegetables are especially nutritious. Examples include spinach, carrots, peaches, and berries.
- Eat a variety of grain products every day. Include whole-grain foods that have lots of fiber and nutrients. Examples of whole grains include oats, whole wheat bread, and brown rice.
- Eat fish at least 2 times each week. Oily fish, which contain omega-3 fatty acids, are best for your heart. These fish include tuna, salmon, mackerel, lake trout, herring, and sardines.
- Stay at a healthy weight by balancing the amount of calories you eat with the activity you do every day. If you want to lose weight, increase your activity level to burn more calories than you eat.
- Eat foods low in
saturated fat
trans fat
, and
cholesterol. Try to choose the following foods:
- Lean meats and meat alternatives like beans or tofu
- Fish, vegetables, beans, and nuts
- Nonfat and low-fat dairy products
- Polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, like canola and olive oils, to replace saturated fats, such as butter
- Read food labels and limit the amount of trans fat you eat. Trans fat raises the levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and also lowers high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol in the blood. Trans fat is found in many processed foods made with shortening or with partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated vegetable oils. These foods include cookies, crackers, chips, and many snack foods.
- Limit sodium. Most people get far more sodium than they need. Try to limit how much sodium (salt) you eat. For good health, less is best. This is especially important for people who are at risk for or already have high blood pressure. If you are African-American, have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, or are older than age 50, try to limit the amount of salt you eat to less than 1,500 mg a day. If none of those things describe you, try to limit sodium to 2,300 mg a day. 2
- Limit alcohol intake to 2 drinks a day for men and 1 drink a day for women.
- Limit drinks and foods with added sugar.
- When you are eating away from home, try to follow these heart-healthy guidelines.
Special considerations include the following:
- Older people. As you age, you do not usually need to eat as many calories. Although the general dietary guidelines remain the same, older people should be careful to choose foods rich in nutrients to meet their nutritional needs without too many calories.
- Children. Children over the age of 2 can follow the AHA diet and lifestyle recommendations and maintain normal growth while lowering their risk of heart disease in the future.
- People with kidney disease. Cardiovascular disease can develop in people who lose normal function of their kidneys. If you have kidney disease, you may need to limit some nutrients including protein and sodium. For more information, see the topic Chronic Kidney Disease.
Other heart-healthy diets
These recommendations from the AHA are just one of several eating plans that help keep your heart healthy. Other heart-healthy eating plans are the DASH diet, the TLC diet, and the Mediterranean diet. You may have a hard time knowing which one might be right for you. To help you compare these eating plans, see:
- Comparing Heart-Healthy Diets (What is a PDF document?) .

Tailor your treadmill workouts to include a lot of variety and safety
While pushing one button and doing a mindless 30-minute run may seem like the most painless workout option, it may actually be sabotaging your routine. According to the experts, the body responds better to a variety of hard running and recovery. Here, Gina Garcia starts her work out with a 15 minute warm up on the treadmill in University Park, Texas, July 25, 2012. (Ron Heflin/Dallas Morning News/MCT) |
"People often hop on a treadmill for long, slow runs - they're trying to zone out," says Rob Sulaver, owner of the New York City-based Bandana Training and a certified personal trainer. "But it's more effective to do aggressive interval training, both from an exercise science and experiential perspective."
So while pushing one button and doing a mindless 30-minute run may seem like the most painless option, it may actually be sabotaging your routine. According to the experts, the body responds better to a variety of hard running and recovery.
"You can mix it up any way you want - one minute of hard running and one minute of recovery running is a good place to start, but you can do any variety," he explains. The key is to kick up your heart rate at a higher intensity, which takes your body longer to recover. This, according to Sulaver, provides an after-burn effect, encouraging your body to continue burning calories even after the workout.
Intervals also offer another important perk: relieving boredom.
"People say their time on the treadmill goes faster because they're concentrating on a particular interval segment," explains Bill Pierce, chair of the Health Sciences Department at Furman University, co-founder of the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training and co-author of the book "Runner's World Run Less, Run Faster."
A good workout is impossible if you're injured. And Sulaver has seen many people skimp on safety - especially on treadmills.
"Don't lift weights on a treadmill," he warns. "It's more of a circus act than a legitimate workout and is multitasking gone wrong."
Also remember your form. "Many people will change their running form on a treadmill, landing on their toes or forefoot and getting too close to the front of the machine," Pierce explains, adding that this behavior could strain your Achilles or cause lower-leg soreness.
Make sure you look straight ahead and don't hold on to the bars or railings while running. "This greatly reduces your workload and it's not that safe," says Pierce.
Although you may be running on a more friendly terrain than what you would find outdoors, it's still important to wear good running shoes. You don't need a special type for the treadmill, according to Sulaver, but you should make sure the fit is right.
You may give your workout a boost by focusing on what the treadmill can offer rather than what it lacks.
The most obvious is convenience - allowing you to run in any weather condition or at any time of day (and being able to stay hydrated without lugging a bottle around).
Pierce emphasizes the value of having the pace set for you, especially for beginning runners. "You get to make a decision about pace and set it, which enables you to concentrate on other things like form, breathing and visualization," he says.
Most treadmills also have variable inclines. This feature allows runners to control elevation changes. "Often, people like to do hill repeats, but when you run up the hill outdoors, you have to run back down it, which can cause soreness," Pierce explains. "With a treadmill, you don't have to run downhill, so there's less stress on the body."
Of course, if you're planning to compete in a race, you'll have to actually run the terrain to properly train for it. But Sulaver disagrees with road-running purists who see little value in treadmills. "It's a tool like anything else. If you use it well, it can provide a great workout," he says.

Phoronix: FreeBSD Achieved A Lot In Q1'2012
For the first three months of the 2012 calendar year, the FreeBSD project achieved a lot when it came to advancing their open operating system. Here's some of the interesting highlights from their quarterly status report...
T-minus 10 seconds until linux trolls enter.
i like freebsd but it sucks more than linux on the desktop, so of course people are gonna hate on it.
It was good to see that FreeBSD has the Intel KMS drivers going, and from what it looks like the radeon driver might be reported working. Anyone care to share experiences? This is a big step if so.

Kazmir looks to keep rolling against former team
Tribe hopes Tomlin can maintain strong start to season with A's in town
One season after he won 10 games for the Indians, Scott Kazmir will take the mound for the A's at Progressive Field as Cleveland hosts Oakland on Saturday.
Kazmir was 10-9 with a 4.04 record with the Indians in 2013 and helped them reach the postseason. Kazmir joined the Tribe after not having pitched in the Majors for two years, as he played Independent ball and worked to regain the All-Star stuff he flashed as a young player.
The 30-year-old has already won half as many games with the Athletics this season, with only one loss. His ERA is just 2.28.
He'll be opposed by Cleveland's Josh Tomlin, a righty, who a year ago was beginning his rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery. On May 6, he gave up just one run in 6 2/3 against the Twins, earning the win in his first start of the season. On Sunday, he gave up two runs in six innings against the Rays for his second win.
"I didn't think he had quite as crisp of stuff as he did his first start," manager Terry Francona said after his last outing. "His command, the same. But that goes to show you, when you just battle and grind and don't give in, and know how to pitch, he got us to that point in the game with only giving up two. That was pretty good."
Tomlin credited the bats for propelling him to his second win. With the way Kazmir has looked so far this season, another strong offensive performance from the Tribe may be necessary.
"It feels good," Tomlin said of his start to the year. "It feels good, because you know you can help this team win. You obviously want to get off on the right foot, and I've been fortunate enough to do that."
Athletics: Versatile Callaspo may be used differently
The addition of first baseman Kyle Blanks may mean fewer games for utility man Alberto Callaspo.
Callaspo has appeared in seven games at first base this season, but Oakland manager Bob Melvin said that he may use Callaspo elsewhere with Blanks on the roster.
"I haven't spoken to [Callaspo] about that yet, but we'll see how it plays out," Melvin said. "[Callaspo has] been getting quite a bit of time at DH, anyway. Blanks is a true first baseman at the position."
Melvin said there could be more opportunities for Callaspo at second base, where Eric Sogard and Nick Punto have seen most of the playing time.
"I'm thinking about that," Melvin said. "He does take ground balls at second and keeps himself ready there. We feel we're covered there as far as it goes with the two guys that we have.
"Obviously, he plays third, [and] he DHs for us, too. You never know how in-game things go as far as first base, so he has to keep himself ready there, too."
Indians: Crockett rockets to Majors
Cleveland promoted 22-year-old lefty Kyle Crockett from Double-A Akron on Friday, making the reliever the first Major League player from the 2013 First-Year Player Draft class to be called up and to play. He gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings after Zach McAllister's early exit in the Tribe's 11-1 loss on Friday.
Crockett held lefties to a .118 average at Akron this season, while also posting a 0.57 ERA in 15 games. In two pro seasons, he has a 0.45 ERA with 49 strikeouts and eight walks in 40 1/3 innings.
"It's an exciting time to see this young kid breaking in," Francona said. "We talk about calling guys up -- sometimes you're calling guys up out of necessity. Sometimes, they just knock the door down and kind of force their way. That's kind of cool."
Worth noting
• Kazmir has been a pain in Cleveland's side as an opponent. The nine Tribe hitters the lefty has faced in his career have a combined .132 (14-for-106) average against him.
• Nick Swisher has the most experience against Kazmir with one home run in 37 at-bats, but he has just a .162 average off the southpaw.

Ningame is often-time a very stern and serious tortoise seen from his scolding of Lee when the latter tried to use the Front Lotus on Sasuke Uchiha. Not unlike his summoner, Guy and his student Lee, Ningame is also easily moved to tears witnessed when Lee and Guy hugged after Lee apologised for what he had attempted to do.
He is a very large tortoise. His shell is red with a yellow underside and swirls on the top with markings around his eyes which are also yellow. He wears a Konoha forehead protector around his neck and an orange bandage on his right front leg. He has seemingly got larger between his Part I and Part II appearances.
Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
He was summoned when Lee challenged Sasuke Uchiha prior to the Chūnin Exams, and prevented the former from using the Front Lotus. He then scolded Lee for what he was going to do as Lee apologised emphatically. Guy appeared on top of his shell shortly after. He then proceeded to cry along with Might Guy and Lee as the two men embraced.
Part II
Adventures at Sea Arc
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Guy summons him while chasing after Kisame Hoshigaki while losing momentum after being thrown by Killer B. He complains that this is the first time he has summoned him in years, and the fact he did so in mid-air. Guy uses his shell as a platform and jumps again causing him to fall to the ground; he ricochets off a giant tortoise's shell before hitting the ground. Ningame has a conversation with the giant tortoise, and marvels at his size. However, the tortoise claimed that he was basically still a hatchling, which shocked him as he had never seen or even heard of a tortoise that big.
- Ningame is one of ten summoned animals that wear a forehead protector. The other nine are Hiruzen Sarutobi's summon Enma and Kakashi's eight ninken.
- (To Lee) "You think you can get away with an excuse like that! You already know what it means for shinobi to reveal his special techniques…!!!"[2]
- (To Guy) "It's been a long time, but what are we doing in mid-air?!"[3]
- (To the giant tortoise) "Wha… I've never seen or even heard of a tortoise as big as you…"[4]

Multi-Year Intrastate Fleet Registration Program
TxDMV has an online Multi-Year Intrastate Fleet Registration Program for registering fleets of intrastate commercial motor vehicles, trailers and token trailers in Texas. This program makes it convenient for business owners and corporations to keep their vehicle registrations current.
A commercial fleet is a group of at least 25 non-apportioned motor vehicles, trailers or token trailers. There is no maximum number of motor vehicles or trailers you can have within a fleet.
Your fleet can include multiple vehicle classes such as passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers. There is not a maximum number of fleets a company can utilize on one account. All units within a fleet will have the same expiration date.
You can select a registration period of not less than one year and not more than eight years.
License plates are manufactured with the month and year of expiration, eliminating the annual registration sticker requirement. You have the option of selecting a standard license plate or a custom logo license plate, which will be manufactured with your company name and/or logo. Custom logo license plates must be pre-approved by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles prior to beginning the multi-year fleet registration process.
Note: If any fleet contains a combination-plated vehicle, the fleet must have a March expiration date.
How to Apply
Fees and Payment Information
Registration fees, including an annual $10 per vehicle commercial fleet fee and applicable local county fees, will be collected for the entire registration period selected at the time of initial registration.
License plate fees:
- Standard license plates: one-time license plate manufacturing fee of $1.50 for each plate or set of plates.
- Custom logo license plates: one-time license plate manufacturing fee of $8.00 for each plate or set of plates.
Registration fees are payable online via electronic check (ACH).
More Information
A prorated credit for Texas registration and fleet fees will be applied to your account for any deleted or exchanged unit. Credits are stored at the account level and applied to future transactions. All applicable local county fees will still apply.
If the gross vehicle weight of your vehicle is 55,000 pounds or more, Federal law requires that proof of payment of the Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) be provided at time of vehicle licensing application.

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's most picturesque beach destinations, with historic white-washed buildings, and cerulean seas set against a rugged mountain skyline. The massive Banderas Bay alone offers over 25 miles of seashore. With all this ocean comes a variety of water sports, like scuba diving with manta rays off Islas Marietas, boating around Los Arcos' reefs, and parasailing off of the popular Playa Los Muertos.
Other popular daytime activities include shopping -- not just the annoying beach vendor kind -- at Puerto Vallarta's maze-ish markets. One of the best, Rio Cuale Flea Market, has multiple vendors selling wood carvings, handmade jewelry, and glass and beadwork (among many other items). But be prepared to haggle down those prices!
Puerto Vallarta stays awake when the sun dips below the horizon. Steamy salsa clubs light up the streets, and rowdy local bars supply a steady stream of cervesa for the thirsty traveler. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is the most happening and diverse area, and has a few gay clubs (Puerto Vallarta is arguably Mexico's most gay-friendly destination).

Exhibition Drawings by Giulio Romano, Student of Raphael and Painter for the Gonzaga Family
from October 11, 2012 to January 14, 2013
Can't play the medias? Download Flash Player.
With the support of ARJOWIGGINS GRAPHIC.
The selection of around fifty works from the Louvre's rich collection of drawings by Giulio Romano provides an overview of the artist's career and gives us a sense of his qualities as an extraordinary draftsman.
A student of Raphael, Giulio Romano, whose original name was Giulio Pippi (Rome, 1492 or 1499 – Mantua, 1546), painter, architect and daring draftsman, surprises by the vigor of his inventions. According to Giorgio Vasari (1568), drawing was truly where his ideas reached absolute perfection.
Some of the drawings on display are from his Roman period at Raphael's workshop (from 1516), while others are from the projects that the master had left unfinished upon his death in 1520 and that Giulio Romano then completed with Gianfrancesco Penni until 1524. That is when he yielded to the pleadings and promises of Count Baldassarre Castiglione, delegated by Marquis Federico II Gonzaga in Rome, and accepted his invitation to work for the Court of Mantua. There, far from Rome, in an environment that fueled his passion for the ancient style, his creativity knew no bounds. This is shown in the many drawings of the exhibition meant for the decors of the sumptuous residences of the Gonzaga family, particularly the Palazzo Te, the pleasure palace of Federico II, which Giulio Romano bestowed with all the splendor of a suburban villa in Rome.

DailyClear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream
Daily Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream provides 10% benzoyl peroxide in an absorbent base with a matte finish.
Ultra Overnight Wash
This water-soluble gel cleanser for normal to oily skin contains 2% salicylic acid.
Add to Faves?
Clearasil At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; effective topical disinfectants with 10% benzoyl peroxide; a good BHA option for those who prefer pads; a decent selection of water-soluble cleansers and topical scrubs.
Weaknesses: As is true for most anti-acne lines, irritating ingredients with no benefit for skin take precedence; only one sunscreen and it's part of a lackluster three-step kit; no lower-strength benzoyl peroxide products (10% has a higher chance of causing irritation than 2.5% and 5% versions).
Perhaps no other line is more synonymous with decades of zapping zits than ever-present Clearasil. The brand debuted in 1950 and was the first to offer anti-acne products to a teenage audience. The company has had several owners over the years (including Procter & Gamble), but has always kept its place on store shelves. The current selection of products is larger than in years past, yet they remain overwhelmingly disappointing because most of them contain irritating ingredients that don't help blemish- or blackhead-prone skin. Alcohol, menthol and its derivatives, and witch hazel show up repeatedly in these and other anti-acne products at the drugstore, creating a precarious situation that leaves shoppers who are dealing with acne faced with few genuinely effective choices. Luckily Clearasil comes through a few times with some very good benzoyl peroxide products for effective disinfecting, a very good BHA option, and a few other gems.
By the way, although Clearasil has products directed toward adult (instead of teenage) acne, the basic cause and treatment of acne is the same regardless of age. The protocol for handling breakouts does not require a separate category of products; the treatment basics remain the same.
For more information about Clearasil, call (866) 252-5327 or visit www.clearasil.com.
