Diet for a healthy heart To have a healthy heart, our blood cholesterol should be under control. How to control cholesterol levels?  Take an optimal balance of carbohydrates, vegetables, proteins, unsaturated fats and fruits. Reduce salt, sugar, fat in your diet. Clear understanding of healthy food and unhealthy food is the first step towards the healthy heart. Count your calories The main source of calories is from proteins, carbohydrates and fats. At least once consult with a dietician and know how much calories you need according to your age, height, weight and work. If you are above 40 years, you should definitely do this. For desk jobs 2000 calories is fine and for a lobour intense job you can take up to  3000 calories.
