People with diabetes are two to four times more likely than others to have heart disease or stroke. The good news, however, is that the same things that are good for diabetes are good for heart health. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Heart Association (AHA) are proud to offer this first joint cookbook as we work together to help you live a healthier life. These taste-tested recipes were designed to follow the nutritional guidelines of both the ADA and the AHA. You can choose your meals with confidence, knowing that as you enjoy good food you are also taking care of your heart and your health. To help you make wise choices, each recipe includes a nutritional analysis of the calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrate, among others.

Because obesity is the leading risk factor for diabetes and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (the most serious complication of diabetes), you are wise to eat meals that are low in calories and saturated fat. Use the analyses to tailor your eating plan to your individual needs. Remember that if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will go up. On the other hand, if you burn more than you eat, even a little, your weight will go down. Simple choices add up. These small steps can lead to big changes.

Try to eat at least three servings of nonstarchy vegetables a daymore is even better. Try to eat two servings of fresh fruit or unsweetened frozen fruit and plenty of whole grains. Stay away from sweetened drinks (even fruit juice and milk have natural sugars, so watch your serving sizes). Drink more water. Leave the highly processed white flour, white sugar, and white fatty foods in the grocery store, and enjoy a journey through the colorful and flavorful world of fresh food prepared lightly. Youll feel so much better when you do.

American Heart Association Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The fact is that adolescents and young adults are developing type 2 diabetes at an alarming rate. The seriousness of this situation as it relates to cardiovascular health prompted the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association to join forces in an effort to reverse the trend. Healthful lifestyle choices, especially appropriate diet and daily physical activity, can have a major impact on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association want to help you make wise choices about the foods you eat. The American Heart Association has contributed to this book by developing delicious and heart-healthy recipes.

These recipes are designed to be consistent with the American Diabetes Association dietary guidelines and will introduce variety into individual diabetic meal plans. By following the guidelines below, you will enjoy the best of natures bounty and, at the same time, help prevent the cardiovascular consequences of diabetes. 1. Enjoy a wide variety of foods. Eat: Six or more servings of grain and whole-grain products and legumes each day.
