The New Heart Healthy Meal Plan Expands on the #1 Diet and Features Additional “Superfoods” to Boost Cardio Health and Assist in Weight Loss
(PRUnderground) February 10th, 2025
The Mayo Clinic Diet, a science-driven weight management program rooted in Mayo Clinic’s healthcare expertise and one of the top-ranked diets of 2025 according to U.S. News & World Report, is proud to announce the launch of its heart-healthy Superfoods Meal Plan, a new addition to its digital weight-loss program. Based on updated guidelines from Mayo Clinic cardiologists and dietitians, this new 12-week plan is designed to promote heart health and sustainable weight loss, aligning with American Heart Month this February.
Expanding on the Mediterranean Diet, the Superfoods Meal Plan incorporates cardio-protective ingredients into delicious, nutrient-dense recipes that are anti-inflammatory and DASH-aligned, making it an excellent choice for individuals managing hypertension, high cholesterol, or heart disease.
“Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., and obesity is often the ‘on-ramp’ to heart disease. A heart-healthy diet is one of the most effective ways to address these challenges,” said Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, Chair of Preventative Cardiology at Mayo Clinic. “Our Superfoods Meal Plan provides members with an easy-to-follow, science-backed strategy to improve heart health and even reverse heart disease while reducing obesity.”
Key features of the Superfoods Meal Plan include:
- An Improved Version of the Mediterranean Diet: Incorporating abundant unprocessed “superfoods” including cardio-protective ingredients like cocoa, chili, oats, leafy greens, and legumes.
- 90+ Heart-Healthy Recipes: Inspiring new ways to enjoy foods that have additional cardio-protective benefits, while cutting back on highly processed foods that can damage the heart.
- Exclusive 12-Week Meal Plan: Designed to deliver lasting results and provide extra support for individuals working to improve heart health and control their weight.
“While the Mediterranean Diet is popular, our Superfoods Meal Plan takes it a step further by including ingredients clinically proven to enhance heart health,” said Dr. Kyla Lara-Breitinger, a Mayo Clinic Cardiologist. “This plan offers a practical and enjoyable way for Americans to prioritize their heart health and manage their weight.”
The new Superfoods Meal Plan is available exclusively to members of the Mayo Clinic Diet. Members will also have access to the Mayo Clinic Diet for Heart Health program, a 24-week comprehensive program that pairs the meal plan with educational resources, interactive tools, and expert support.
“We’re thrilled to launch this program during American Heart Month,” said Dr. Lopez-Jimenez. “Eating well can have an immediate positive effect on heart health, and we want to empower Americans to take charge of their wellness.”
