With all the diet names floating out there, it may be overwhelming to know the right way to eat for your health. Here’s the thing: There’s not one “right” heart-healthy diet. In fact, several of the most popular diets for heart health are actually kind of similar.

If you’re not confident about the best foods for your heart health, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian. They can help you learn about healthy eating patterns and how to incorporate them into your lifestyle. For more information, check out Heart Disease: Your GoodRx Guide.
