💡 The quick answer

What foods are good for someone with heart failure?

Heart-failure nutrition focuses on limiting sodium and managing fluids — fresh foods, home-cooked low-salt meals, lean proteins and whole grains. Our 7-day plan makes sodium-conscious eating practical for caregivers.

✨ Personalized, not generic
Not a template. Tailored to your loved one.

Every plan starts from their profile — condition, age, weight, allergies, dislikes and food preferences — and the menu adapts to protect the heart while staying realistic.

🩺

Condition-aware

Heart failure, diabetes, CKD, dementia, hypertension, dysphagia and 16 more — each plan follows the specific dietary rules for that condition.

🚫

Allergy & dislike aware

Tell us what to avoid — allergens, disliked foods, texture limits — and they never appear in the menu.

👵

Age & nutrition needs

Plans account for age, weight and activity to hit the right calories and protein for healthy aging.

💊

Drug–food interaction alerts

If your loved one takes medication — statins, levodopa, blood thinners — the plan highlights foods that may interfere, so you can check with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.

💬 Ask NutriHearth — your caregiving assistant
Talk to it, like texting a dietitian

You don't need to fill out forms alone. Ask NutriHearth in plain words — or just speak — and it answers, explains, and builds the menu for you.

🎤

Voice input

Speak your question in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Spanish — the app understands what you say and replies.

🧾

Generate the menu for you

Say "my mom has heart failure and doesn't like fish" — it fills in the profile and generates a matching 7-day plan automatically.

📖

Explain any meal

Ask "why is this dinner good for her?" — it walks you through the calories, nutrients and the condition-specific reasoning behind each recipe.

🔁

Adjust & recommend

Say "swap tomorrow's breakfast" or "suggest something higher in protein" — it revises the plan and recommends alternatives on the spot.

🔬 Evidence-based
Built on published research

The science behind each plan comes from published literature — not opinion or trends. The heart-failure plan follows current evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition guidance.

📚 From the research

What the science says about Heart Failure

('Reviews of lifestyle management in heart failure find DASH-style eating potentially beneficial and recommend moderate (not extreme) sodium restriction, avoiding excess alcohol, and individualized plans — especially for older adults, who are more vulnerable to malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. Evidence for specific dietary patterns remains heterogeneous, and personalized nutrition management is emphasized.',)
