But hold up, don’t go crazy on the fat – too much of the wrong kind can give you heart issues. Go for unsaturated oils instead of butter and all that, and keep your total fat intake under 30% to avoid packing on the pounds.

And watch those sugary snacks and drinks, stick to fresh fruit, and keep it under 10% of your daily energy. Oh, and keep the salt under 5g to keep your heart healthy. [3]
