Foods to eat for heart health
Boost Your Heart Foods
According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating a small handful of nuts (25g) a day may reduce risk of heart disease. Try almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts. Just make sure the nuts you eat aren't sugar-coated or salted.
All nuts are high in kilojoules, so stick to a small handful. To avoid eating too many nuts and gaining weight, replace foods high in saturated fat with nuts. For example, instead of adding meat, croutons or cheese to your salad, add a handful of almonds or pistachios.
Oats contains soluble fibre which reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein (LDL)). Soluble fibre can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. Other sources of soluble fibre include beans, apples, pears, barley and prunes, as well as other fruits and whole grains.
Include these foods in your diet regularly to boost your heart health.
Tip: Why not make a tasty pear and walnut salad with low-fat goat's cheese and rocket.
