Heart disease is one of the country’s greatest killers, but a few changes to our diet can reduce the risk by quite a lot. By staying away from artery-clogging foods, you won’t just live longer, but can spend more time with loved ones with less fatigue and better memory retention. Below, you’ll find 30 food items that are shown to contain more than just heart-healing properties.
1. Pistachios
Pistachios are packed with beneficial fats and antioxidants. Together, they’ll keep your ticker ticking, your muscles muscle-ing, and your stomach nice and full. Pistachios are a great replacement for salty snacks, although they can be a bit hard to open. Here’s a quick tip: use the shell of a cracked pistachio to open another pistachio.
2. Olives
Olives are great on anything—pizza, pasta, martinis. They’re also packed with monosaturated fats and antioxidants. Olives can also promote weight loss and lower the risk of certain heart diseases. However, if you only have access to canned olives, eat them in moderation since they’re swimming in a salty brine.
