medications to do so. The tips below will<br />

One way to improve your heart health would<br />
be through nutrition, adding fish to your diet<br />
is an excellent way to improve your<br />
nutritional status. Some fish contain omega-<br />
3 fatty acids which protect the heart from<br />
disease and stroke.2 Foods that belong in<br />
this section are: salmon, tuna, and trout.2<br />
Adding foods that contain monounsaturated<br />
or polyunsaturated fats is also beneficial<br />
since they protect the heart from disease.2<br />
Food that falls into this category are: walnuts,<br />
seed butters, sunflower seeds, pumpkin<br />
seeds, almonds, pine nuts, avocados, tofu,<br />
olive oil, sesame oil, and canola oil.2<br />

Another food group that is heart<br />
healthy are whole grains.1 These food<br />
items include: oatmeal, brown rice,<br />
and whole grain breads and<br />
tortillas.2 Leafy greens like cabbage,<br />
spinach, collard greens, and kale2<br />
are greens that are going to reduce<br />
the risk of developing cardiovascular<br />
disease. It is important to keep in<br />
mind that there is no need to<br />
eliminate foods you enjoy eating,<br />
adding more of the foods listed<br />
above is a great way to protect<br />
yourself from heart disease without<br />
sacrificing the foods you love.
