Consume Healthy Fats

If you are looking to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, a few simple changes may be all you need, according to a Burleigh County extension agent on KX News in North Dakota. One suggestion is to eat fish twice a week and to use heart-healthy fats like canola oil instead of butter and margarine. The agent indicates fats are essential for a diet, as long as they are the right types and the right amounts.
