WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Feb. 12 (UPI) -- For those planning a romantic dinner for Valentine's Day, it's lucky that romantic and heart-healthy go hand-in-hand, a U.S. dietitian said.
"Years of research has shown that a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fat and lean protein will not only help with weight maintenance, but with overall heart health," Katie Boles, a clinical dietitian with the Brenner FIT Program at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., said in a statement. "Eating a variety of these foods and eating them in moderation is key to a heart-healthy diet."
