Instead of using chocolate, cookies, or chips as snacks, try using nutrient-rich foods instead.

We are happy to introduce you to three snack options that will definitely benefit your heart.

Hummus with vegetables

Do you like to snack on something crunchy and seasoned with a delicate sauce? Then hummus and vegetables are perfect for you.

Hummus is typically made with chickpeas and other legumes or lentils, which means that after such a meal, the body will receive a lot of fiber. This, in turn, can reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels.

Vegetables also contain fiber, along with beneficial vitamins and minerals.

In addition, it will provide invaluable help to the heart, since avocados contain healthy fats, including monounsaturated fats.

These fruits support heart health by helping to lower LDL levels, and a slice of whole grain bread provides heart-healthy fiber.

Mixed Nuts with Dark Chocolate
