Former New Orleans Saints Coach Mike Ditka is
teaming up with Open the Door to a Healthy Heart, a national consumer awareness campaign
teaching Americans how to prevent heart disease. For National Cholesterol Education Month
(September), cardiologist Dr. Debra Judelson gave the coach a refrigerator makeover. She
recommends simple substitutions for a healthy heart: switching from whole milk to skim,
from butter to soft and liquid margarine and from high-fat meats to leaner meats. She gave
Ditka’s refrigerator high marks because he has made these simple changes.
