7 Heart Friendly Foods You Should Eat More Often

Black beans

Satisfy your hunger and get a healthier heart in the process by making black beans a staple on your menu. Black beans pack 332 milligrams of magnesium per cup, as well as 15 grams of fiber, the latter of which research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2008 links to reduced cardiovascular disease risk and a lower risk of overall mortality.

 

Cocoa powder

You can have your chocolate cake and eat it, too! With 429 milligrams of magnesium per cup, cocoa powder is an easy addition to a heart-healthy diet. Even better, researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana have linked the cocoa flavanols found in chocolate to a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk.

 

Brown rice

You don’t have to cut all carbs from your menu to get healthier; brown rice can improve your heart health with every bite. With 215 milligrams of magnesium per cup and plenty of fiber, which can help improve the balance of bacteria in your gut and boost your immune system, brown rice is a great choice for your overall health.
