When it comes to eating smart for your heart, stop thinking about short-term solutions and simplify your life with a straightforward approach that will serve you well for years to come.
Smart eating goes beyond analyzing every bite of food you lift 36 your mouth. “In the past we used to believe that 37 amounts of individual nutrients were the 38 to good health,” Linda Van Horn, professor of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee. "But now we have a 39 understanding of healthy eating and the kinds of food necessary to 40 not only heart disease but disease 41 general," she adds.
Scientists now 42 on the broader picture of the balance of food eaten 43 several days or a week 44 than on the number of milligrams of this or that 45 at each meal.
Fruits, vegetables and whole grains, for example, provide nutrients and plant-based compounds 46 to good health. “The more we learn, the more 47 we are by the wealth of essential substances they 48 ," Van Horn continues, "and how they 49 with each other to keep us healthy."
You'll automatically be 50 the right heart-healthy track if vegetables, fruits and whole grains make 51 three quarters of the food on your dinner plate. 52 in the remaining one quarter with lean meat or chicken, fish or eggs.
The foods you choose to eat as well as those you choose to 53 clearly contribute to your well-being. Without a 54 , each of the small decisions you make in this can make a big 55 on your health in the years to come. A between B through C inside D to

When Alice started to cycle home from Jenny’s house, she wasn’t nervous. She was certainly not afraid of the dark.36, it was only a 15-minute ride home. But halfway there, she began to wish that she hadn’t been so 37. As she rounded a sharp bend, it suddenly 38 cold — very cold. Alice’s breath became puffs of white cloud and her legs were so cold that it became hard to ride.

I must be there in the next five minutes.” “Airport? You 43 are lost,” Alice said. “You need to go back five kilometers 44 you reach the T-junction. Turn left and 45 for about another 10 kilometers to the main highway. From there, just follow the 46 to the airport. But I’m afraid there’s no 47 you’ll get there in five minutes!” “Thank you very much, dear,” replied the old lady. “Don’t worry — I’ll 48 in time.” The 49 moved up and the car started off. A little way ahead, it 50 and with headlights flashing, it drove past Alice. But then, something 51 happened. The car began changing. First, its color 52 from black to silvery-grey. Then, the wheels began disappearing, but the car continued to move forward, 53 just above the ground.
