🍎💪 Upgrade your heart health with simple swaps! Here are 4️⃣ easy changes you can make today:

➡️ Whole Grains Instead of Refined Grains: Swap out white bread, white rice, and regular pasta for whole grain options like whole wheat bread, brown rice, and whole grain pasta. Whole grains are rich in fiber, which can help lower cholesterol and improve heart health.
