The Best Heart-Healthy Foods to Eat Every Day

1. Fatty Fish

Salmon, sardines, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which reduce triglycerides, inflammation, and heart attack risk.

2. Berries

Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries contain antioxidants that reduce blood pressure and LDL cholesterol.

3. Dark Leafy Greens

Spinach and kale are rich in nitrates which help dilate blood vessels and reduce blood pressure naturally.

4. Avocado

Rich in monounsaturated fats and potassium, avocado reduces LDL cholesterol and supports healthy blood pressure.

5. Walnuts

A handful of walnuts daily reduces LDL cholesterol and inflammation. They are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

6. Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in polyphenols that reduce inflammation and protect blood vessel walls.

7. Beans and Legumes

Rich in fiber and protein, beans reduce LDL cholesterol and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

8. Oats

Beta-glucan fiber in oats reduces LDL cholesterol by up to 10 percent when eaten regularly.
