Foods for your heart
With heart disease the number one killer of both men and women in this country, you would think a cure that could dramatically reduce these deaths would be big news. And yet the most effective remedy is so simple that most people can’t seem to believe it works. “In traditional societies, where people don’t eat processed foods, heart disease is rare,” says cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD, author of The South Beach Wake-up call. “If you start with a healthy diet in childhood, heart attacks are almost completely preventable.”
Research papers on foods that are good for heart published in medical journals of repute such as Circulation and the British Medical Journalsubstantiates the general wisdom that good food is good for the heart.
Foods good for the heart are as below:
- Red wine
- Oranges
- Garlic
- Kale
- Almonds
- Sardines
- Dark chocolate
- Pomegranates
- Lentils
