A recent WHO study has revealed that maximum expenditure Indians make on is the acute heart disease.
The study shed light on not only the increasing number of heart patients but also a troubling health crisis that India is facing.
Consuming a heart-friendly diet can decrease a lot of the risk but getting started with the proper diet can be challenging.
Below are the 5 simple but effective ingredients recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) for a healthy heart.
-
Apples: They contain healthy nutrients like fiber, vitamins and minerals and there are only 80 calories in a small apple.
2. Walnuts: They are high in omega-3 fatty acids, the same fat found in oily fish, except it is easier to snack on these wherever you are.
3. Beans: They are high in minerals and fiber and have no saturated fat. Eating beans can help improve your blood cholesterol, which is a leading cause of heart disease.
4. Olive oil: It helps control LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. This can help lower your risk of heart disease.
5. Oats: The association recommends eating three or more servings of fiber-rich whole grains like oats every day
