Study shows 6 foods vital for heart disease prevention

LET'S START

Cardiovascular disease

The biggest cause of mortality in India is cardiovascular disease. Many studies connect nutrition to heart disease, but a recent study says adding six primary food types to your diet everyday lowers cardiovascular disease risk.

Vegetables

Electrolytes including phosphorus, salt, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and chloride in vegetables support cardiac rhythms.

Legumes

For vegans, legumes are ideal protein sources. They create and maintain healthy muscles, organs, and blood cells.

Fish

Fish and seafood provide lean protein, vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy fats. Salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Nuts

Healthy unsaturated fats in nuts and seeds lower cholesterol. They suppress inflammation that might cause heart disease.

Dairy

This research indicated that moderately consuming full-fat dairy improved heart health. Fermented full-fat dairy products like kefir, yoghurt, cottage cheeses, and farmer's cheese are even healthier.

Fruits

When eaten, fruits promote immunity, improve gut and digestive health, and lower small intestine cholesterol with fiber.
