1.Eat Heart-Healthy
Certain foods have nutritional superpowers when it comes to your heart. These include fruits like berries and oranges; lean fish like salmon and mackerel; veggies like spinach, carrots, and tomatoes; nuts and seeds; oats; and beans. Work more of these into your diet, and your heart will be better for it.
2.Watch the Salt
Your body needs sodium, but as little as 500 milligrams per day is enough. You should have no more than 1,500 per day because too much sodium — which mostly comes from salt — can lead to high blood pressure and raise your chances of having a stroke or heart disease. One good way to control how much you’re getting is to check the labels on packaged foods.
