Eat avocado
Avocados are a great source of nutrients, containing monounsaturated fatty acids that support heart health and benefit cholesterol levels. People who regularly eat avocados have increased levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, which may protect against heart disease. Avocados are also rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
Choose plant-based foods
Plant-based diets such as beans, nuts and whole grains help reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Beans provide abundant protein and fiber.
Choose nuts as a snack
Nuts are a healthy snack rich in unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and many compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Regularly eating a variety of nuts can support healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and help maintain a healthy weight.
Add vegetables to every meal
Eating more vegetables is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Enjoy some dark chocolate
Magnesium found in dark chocolate promotes good sleep quality and reduces the risk of depression. Flavonols in dark chocolate can improve blood circulation and enhance cognitive performance.
