However, it&#8217;s the overall pattern of your\u00a0choices\u00a0that counts. So, the more often you make good choices in your meal decisions, the better off your heart and you will be.<\/p>\n<p>The American Heart Association&#8217;s dietary recommendations have evolved from nutrient-based to food-based dietary patterns. For instance instead of focusing on the number of grams of carbohydrates, they recommend focusing on the types of carbohydrates that you are consuming. This change resulted from scientific research on the importance of specific nutrients found in certain foods, while also making it easier for people to follow. For example,\u00a0an average adult should eat 4 cups of red\/orange vegetables per week, a cup and a half of dark green vegetables per week, 8 ounces of fish, a cup and a half of fruit per day, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Working alongside the American Heart Association, DinnerTime developed its Heart-Healthy meals\u00a0to\u00a0fulfill these AHA recommendations. To receive balanced heart-healthy meal recommendations, simply choose Heart-Healthy as your dietary style in your profile.
