Which change is prioritised in a heart patient’s diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reducing saturated fat and extra salt

Emphasis is usually placed on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, suitable protein and healthier unsaturated fats. The plan must be individualised, but option A states the appropriate priorities.
