The food choices you make can drastically affect your heart health. Keep your heart in good shape with choices that are tasty and healthy.
Tomatoes
Salmon
Nuts
This includes almonds , walnuts , peanuts and pistachios, all of which contain good-for-your-heart fibre. They also contain vitamin E, which helps lower bad cholesterol. And some, like walnuts, are high in omega-3 fatty acids. You just have to be mindful on the quantities you eat as they are a calorie dense food.
Dark chocolate
A number of studies have now shown that dark chocolate may benefit your heart. The findings applied only to dark chocolate, meaning chocolate made up of at least 60-70% cocoa. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids called polyphenols, which may help blood pressure, clotting, and inflammation.
Blueberries
Inflammation in your artery walls can increase the risk of a heart attack. You can counter that process by eating some every day. Their inflammation-battling antioxidants are the heroes here. If you can’t find fresh ones, frozen berries work. I like to add them with my Greek yoghurt.
