“This guide fits home cooks looking to protect their cardiovascular health without abandoning traditional flavor profiles. If you need hyper-fast weeknight dinners or heavy, traditional fats, you might find the dietary adjustments restrictive.

📝 Description: Healthy Living with Hypertension: A Guide for African Americans

"Soul Food" is a term coined by African Americans to capture the uniqueness of the cooking style utilized for themselves, families and friends, all prepared with love, care and lots of soul. Many of these foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, but are also rich or high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium (salt). "Cutting back on salt, as well as providing recipes that are lower in sodium, fat, and cholesterol", will help to promote "heart-healthy living".
