What to do Every Day for a Stronger Heart

Reach for Pistachios

“Nuts, in addition to an overall healthy diet, have been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies have also shown that pistachios can help to improve blood lipid levels, lowering ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and raising ‘good’ HDL cholesterol,” says Mia Zarlengo, MS, RD. “Pistachios are filling due to the protein and fat content, and will not cause a big spike in blood sugar levels that can occur from processed snacks.”

 

Sip Green Tea

Green tea is known for its health benefits, including a decreased risk of heart attack and stroke and better immune system function. It’s also rich in catechins, which act as an antioxidant and helps lower inflammation. In fact, according to a recent study, regular green tea drinkers had a 29 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
