While diet sodas can seem like a good alternative to sugary drinks when you have heart disease, it's best to limit how many diet sodas you consume, even those with artificial sweeteners like Splenda. The healthiest beverage choices are water, unsweetened flavored water, green or herbal tea, and moderate amounts of coffee (1-2 cups per day). To make water more appealing, try adding fresh fruit slices like cucumber, lime, or strawberry for natural flavor. Many MyHeartDiseaseTeam members have found this satisfies their craving for sweet drinks while staying heart-healthy. If you do choose to drink diet beverages, do so in moderation as part of an overall heart-healthy diet plan.
