In Frisco, TX, residents can take steps to prevent heart disease through their diet. A key nutrient for heart health is often lacking in American diets. This nutrient is also beneficial for a healthy gut and weight loss.

Further details are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, but it is known that a diet high in fast food, processed food, or protein, and low in produce, can lead to insufficient intake of this important nutrient. A daily intake of 25-38 grams is recommended, but most Americans do not meet this goal, according to a registered dietitian.
