Heart-healthy recipes for the whole family

Heart health cooking questions

Which fats are best for heart health?

Unsaturated fats like olive oil, nuts, seeds and oily fish, in place of butter and fatty meat. Your doctor can advise on cholesterol targets.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
