good research there. speaking of healthy hearts, here are some heart-healthy foods i saw on weightlossplans.net to go along with max’s advice to move, move, move!
Salmon – Fish, especially Salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids which have shown to lower cholesterol by reducing inflammation throughout the body.
Flaxseeds – Recently ground flaxseeds have been all the range because they contain Omega-3 fatty acids as well as fiber. When combined they’re a double threat to heart disease because they reduce inflammation which is the primary reason for heart attacks and strokes.
Oatmeal – This breakfast favorite contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the “bad” cholesterol and ten grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your total and LDL cholesterol.
Walnuts – In addition to containing Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, walnuts contain mono and polyunsaturated fats which lower LDL cholesterol, and in some cases have show to raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
Red Wine – In moderation (of course), it has long been said that red wine is heart healthy because it contains antioxidants that increase HDL that protects against artery damage.
Soy Milk – Shown to have a cholesterol lowering effect, soy milk demonstrates that a diet with significant soy protein reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and Triglycerides.
Oranges – Some claim that oranges are the most nutritious fruit because they contain an antioxidant called Hesperidin which is said to improve blood vessel function thus lowering the risk of heart disease.
Asparagus – Just one serving of asparagus supplies the body with over 60% of the daily-recommended intake of folate. Folate is important in reducing homocysteine, which is an amino acid in the blood related to a higher risk of heart disease.
Dark Chocolate – Flavanols, the main flavonoid found in cocoa have antioxidant qualities which we know to have positive effects on heart health by lowering blood pressure and making blood platelets less sticking and able to clot.
Tea – Some say that the greatest benefit of tea has been seen among patients who already have cardiovascular disease because of the antioxidants found plentiful in both black and green tea.
