Life Tips

The following 10 foods are effective in preventing heart disease or maintaining the heart of heart patients. You can choose according to your personal situation.

In the morning, you can choose to eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid and potassium, which are good for the heart. At the same time, oatmeal is also a food with a very high fiber content, which can effectively reduce the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol content in the blood and help keep the arteries open. You can also choose coarse oats or oatmeal, but avoid those instant oatmeal products because they contain less fiber. If you can also eat a banana, you can take in 4 more grams of fiber.

Because it contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon can effectively lower blood pressure and reduce blood viscosity. Eating it twice a week can reduce the risk of death from heart disease by one-third. Salmon also contains a substance called astaxanthin, which is a very powerful antioxidant.

Add some avocado to your salad to add some heart-healthy fats to your diet, which are monounsaturated fats that help lower LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) while raising HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol). Eating avocados allows you to take in a variety of carotenoids, especially carotene and lycopene, which play a vital role in your health.

The unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil are the highest among all edible oils, which can effectively reduce the "bad" cholesterol in the body, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. Studies have found that the Cretans living in Greece have a lot of cholesterol in their bodies, but few of them die of heart disease. The reason is that they have been eating olive oil rich in "good" fats for a long time. Try to choose extra virgin oil, because the minimum processing procedures ensure that there is no excessive loss of nutrients.
