What is the primary improvement when modifying a regular diet for a heart patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Improving fat quality and controlling sodium
A heart-healthy modified diet generally limits excess sodium and unhealthy saturated or trans fats, while emphasizing appropriate unsaturated fats, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and suitable portions. Sodium control can support blood-pressure and fluid management, whereas better fat quality supports cardiovascular health. Exact restrictions depend on the patient’s diagnosis, so option C is correct.
