Top 10 Vegetables for Heart Health
- Asparagus: One of the most important heart healthy ingredients that are found in asparagus is vitamin B6. This vitamin can lower homocysteine, a form of amino acid that has been linked to heart disease.
- Bell Peppers: Bell peppers contain folate, another nutrient that can reduce homocysteine.
- Carrots: Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which are powerful antioxidants that can combat free radicals that cause heart disease.
- Tomatoes: A carotenoid called lycopene in tomatoes has been proven to be effective in preventing heart disease.
- Broccoli: Broccoli has a high content of vitamin C, and it can make you less susceptible to both non-fatal and fatal heart diseases.
- Leafy Greens: Leafy greens are an excellent source of magnesium. According to a Harvard study, magnesium can lower risk of sudden health failure in women.
- Garlic: Garlic contains phytochemicals that boost immunity and protect the heart against diseases.
- Onions: Onions are a rich source of sulphur-containing phytochemicals. These phytochemicals can reduce cholesterol levels, and therefore, prevent heart disease.
- Potatoes: Potatoes are a high-potassium food, and they can help your body maintain healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure can increase the risk of congestive heart failure and stroke.
