Divabetic’s Heart Healthy Food Swap #1: Swap Your Hamburger for a Black Bean Burger

“Replacing meat with legumes is a simple swap which may contribute to a healthy heart,” says Dr. Lisa Young. “Legumes—including black beans, lentils, and split peas–are a terrific plant based protein option and also a good source of soluble fiber. Unlike a hamburger, bean burgers are also low in saturated fat which the American Heart Association and Dietary Guidelines recommend we limit. So, try going meatless, for at least a few days, this February.”

Dr. Lisa Young PhD, RDN, CDN is an internationally recognized nutritionist and portion control expert. She’s the the author of Finally Full, Finally Thin: 30 Days to Permanent Weight loss One Portion at a Time (Center Street/ Hachette Book Group) and The Portion Teller Plan: Eating, Cheating, and Losing Weight Permanently (Crown 2005) which was named one of six best health books by The Wall Street Journal and O, The Oprah Magazine.

Many people are not aware of the close connection between diabetes and heart disease, but heart disease is actually one of the most common complications of diabetes. It’s so common that having diabetes actually doubles your risk for heart attack or stroke.

The question is – what can you do about it?

To start, you should work with your doctor to monitor your ABC’s (A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels) and keep them in your target range. Your physician can help you set target ranges for your A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol that will work for you. Making healthy lifestyle choices is essential to reach and stay in those target ranges.

If you have diabetes, you should try to keep your sodium intake to less than 2300 mg per day. If you have diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension), you should aim for 1500 mg per day or less.
