3.Eat More Fruits and Veggies
The nutrients and fiber (and low calories and fat) make them heart-healthy. But they also have antioxidants, which may help protect your cells from damage that can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Try to work different colors of produce into your diet. You can also add them to foods you already enjoy, like loading pizza with veggies or adding fruit to a bowl of cereal.
4.Snack on Nuts
The fiber, unsaturated fats, and omega-3 fatty acids in nuts may help your body cut down on inflammation, “bad” LDL cholesterol, and plaque buildup in blood vessels — all linked to heart disease. They also might protect against blood clots that cause strokes. The type of nuts you choose probably doesn’t matter much, but don’t overdo it — they have lots of calories. About 4 small handfuls a week of unsalted nuts should do it.
