Abstract

Diabetes and heart disease are highly prevalent diseases that affect millions of people. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise have been shown to be highly beneficial for this patient population in managing their chronic illnesses. As a result, primary care visits centering around these diseases include conversations about diet. Patients in our clinic have reported difficulties adhering to a healthy diet due to cravings for a snack or lack of variety in their meals. This project aims to create a resource and spread awareness of healthy snacking options provided by the American Heart Association to aid patients in healthy diet adherence.
