Cardiovascular disease is American’s top killer, but five foods
have been proven to prevent heart attacks.
The four foods proven to fight cardiovascular disease are:
- Spinach — Spinach is high in folate
which helps prevent the accumulation of homoscysteine in the
blood. Homoscysteine is a major risk factor for heart disease.
- Tomatoes — Tomatoes are rich in lycopene
which lowers cholesterol.
- Oatmeal — Oatmeal is a great source of
soluble fiber which absorbs excess cholesterol and removes it from
your body.
- Pomegranates — Pomegranates are rich in
polyphenols, which are antioxidants that keep hearts healthy by
neutralizing cell-damaging free radicals, and may also reduce LDL
“bad” cholesterol.
