1 The right side of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood from body tissues and pumps it to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. 2  The blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs form the pulmonary circuit.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, a healthy eating plan: 1  Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products. 2  Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. 3  Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
Eating healthy for me is drinking my quota of water for the day and juicing spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots and sometimes cabbage because chewing vegetables is hard for me to do. I also eat oatmeal, low-sugar cereals, yogurt, milk, cheese and homemade bread, and when I prepare meats, I drain the fat and season them to taste.
