Eating to improve heart health is easier than you might think. When enjoyed in moderation, there are a lot of foods that deliver health benefits and deliciousness.
There are a lot of ways to maintain heart health and, next to exercise, what you eat plays a big role in your success. “If you want to reduce your risk of developing heart disease by eating certain foods every day, you can,” says Priti Bhagia, MD, at Charlotte Medical Clinic-Mint Hill. “There are so many different types of foods that are good for your heart: fish, fruits and vegetables, and even red wine or dark chocolate – in moderation.” So, the next time you reach for a snack, consider one of these quick treats. Your heart will thank you!
