A primary concern of those with cardiac problems is finding the right food to eat and still enjoying the experience. This is especially true for people who travel and can't prepare their own food.

So, with the summer vacation season upon us, Canada's Heart and Stroke Foundation has issued these suggestions for heart-healthy eating during long road trips:

• Bring a cooler, and restock it each day with plenty of water
• Pack fresh fruit and vegetables sticks for snacks
• Make sandwiches using whole wheat bread; lean meat fillings, such as ham, roast beef, chicken or turkey; and mustard or horseradish, instead of butter or margarine
