Oats
Exchange those cheese omelet’s for a heart healthy breakfast of oats. Oats
are said to contain a type of fiber that helps to bind bile acids and
expel them from the body. These bile acids are made from cholesterol. A diet
that includes oats is effective in lowering the cholesterol levels in our body.
Oats are also rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.
Nuts
This is the best news ever. Munching on a handful of nuts can do wonders
for your heart. It does not mean that you should finish off that box of salted
cashews. But it is a good idea to exchange your mid-meal snack with some
assorted nuts. Almonds, walnuts and many more nuts are now considered to be the
super foods in promoting heart health.
Salmon
Salmon is easy to cook and may be included in your meal as a sandwich filling, cold cuts, in sushi or even the filet as a main course. No other common fish has such great amounts of Omega 3 as salmon.
