Seven foods to support a healthy heart.

Number 1. Oats. Rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that helps lower LDL, or bad cholesterol.

Number 2. Fatty fish. Salmon, sardines, and mackerel provide omega 3 fatty acids that help lower triglyceride levels.

Number 3. Walnuts. Loaded with unsaturated fats and plant based omega 3 fatty acids that support cardiovascular health.

Number 4. Berries. Blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries contain polyphenols that help reduce blood vessel inflammation and damage.

Number 5. Leafy green vegetables. Spinach and other leafy vegetables provide potassium, folate, and dietary nitrates that support healthy blood pressure.

Number 6. Beans and lentils. Rich in fibre and plant protein, they can help improve cholesterol levels when replacing less healthy foods.

Number 7. Extra virgin olive oil. Contains monounsaturated fats and polyphenols that support heart health.
