Cardiologist Elizabeth Klodas outlined the foods that should be included in the diet to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.

The doctor spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Eatthis.com .

As the specialist noted, healthy fats are needed.

For example, you can pay attention to fatty fish, which has a good effect on cholesterol levels.

You also need foods with antioxidants. In this case, you need to eat tomatoes, berries, oranges, dark chocolate.

Green tea will also be beneficial.

In addition, as Klodas emphasized, it is important to add fiber to the diet.

Without this, it is impossible to get a complete and healthy diet. Therefore, the menu should include vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products.

Klodas added that for the cardiovascular system to function normally, one must also learn to manage stress and maintain regular physical activity.
