By including certain foods in your diet, you can reduce the risk of developing heart and vascular diseases.
Cardiologist Lyutsiya Gazizova spoke about this.
The expert listed heart-strengthening products in a conversation with UfaTime.ru .
Top 7 Heart-Healthy Foods
First, fatty fish. Rich in heart-healthy polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Gazizova recommends eating two servings a week.
Secondly, walnuts. They also contain a lot of omega-3 PUFAs. One handful of nuts per day is enough.
Thirdly, olive oil improves the condition of the heart and blood vessels.
The cardiologist recommended giving preference to cold-pressed oil.
Fourthly, black beans. The fiber they contain normalizes cholesterol levels.
The product also contains magnesium, folic acid and antioxidants, which help normalize blood pressure.
Fifth, oatmeal. Also reduces "bad" cholesterol. Give preference to coarsely ground or slow-cooked cereals.
In addition, prunes and flax seeds contain many heart-healthy substances.
