3. Dip: Make a fresh yogurt based dip using low sodium seasonings and fresh garlic.
4. Chips: Choose healthier baked potato chips over fried chips.
5. Make "mock"-tails instead of cocktails: Try to avoid alcohol and try virgin cocktails.
6. Limit alcohol: American Heart Association recommends no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 for men in order to be heart healthy.
