These heart healthy foods are all delicious recipes that are perfect for family meals, or side dishes to your favorite lean protein. Using healthy foods rich in things like antioxidants, Omega-3 fats and other nutrient-dense foods are always a great choice when working on your diet to improve your health. A strong heart is necessary for a strong body, and just by changing a few of your meals to include things like salmon, tuna, sweet potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, spinach or flaxseed can greatly improve your chances of a strong and healthy heart. Many of these foods, in particular, are rich in the nutrients our bodies need to build good cholesterol, lower bad cholesterol and may help to strengthen your heart.
