Good fat is fine for heart attack survivors
I am a fan of using olive oil as my preferred cooking oil for just about everything, from stir-fry to that occasional "toasted" wheat bread and turkey sandwich. Olive oil is a great source of Omega-3 "healthy" and fatty oils (a reason a I use it), and new research shows that a diet rich in these kinds of oils can be just as good as a standard low-fat diet suggested for those who have had heart attacks.The study found that people on either diet had one-third the risk of suffering another heart attack, a stroke, death or other heart problem compared with heart patients eating in the usual (read: bad) way.
There are ways to prepare and cook very healthy meals that have great taste once you've researched what to do -- and if you've had a heart attack, eating right (without losing taste) is probably a top priority.
