It's all about ♥️ heart health in February (and March too!). We have discussed the importance of HIIT for our hearts and shared some amazing healthy recipes you love! This week is all about HEART-HEALTHY FOODS! These foods help your body and heart function as best as possible.
Here are some of the TOP 6 heart-healthy foods you need to add to your nutrition plan this week!
Top 6 Heart-Healthy Foods
1. Hemp Hearts are the "heart" of a shelled hemp seed. They are rich in protein and have the almost highest balance of proteins, fats, vitamins, and enzymes. They have been shown to decrease blood pressure, as well as lower the risks of colon and prostate cancer. Also, they can relieve indigestion because they have no known allergens. Sprinkle hemp hearts on your salad, yogurt, or smoothie.
2. Avocado is full of healthy fats and contains many vital nutrients and fibers that your body and heart need. Avocado offers nutrients so that you can have a healthy heart!
3. Leafy Greens contain nitrate content. This nitrate content allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently and allows for overall better blood flow.
4. Tomatoes have nutrients that are found to help prevent cardiovascular disease. Additionally, tomatoes have nutrients that can protect and reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
5. Berries are a source of micronutrients and fiber. They support your heart through decreased activity of carbohydrate digestive enzymes and inhibit inflammatory gene expression and foam cell formation. If the cell formation and gene expression are not kept under control, it can result in heart disease and a lower, decreased heart health. Raspberries are the highest in fiber, lowest in sugar fruit! Enjoy!
6. Beets are full of healthy nutrients, like calcium, iron, potassium, and protein. Beets contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents which have shown to reduce the risk of some cancers. Drinking beet juice has also shown to improve cardiorespiratory endurance and increases overall efficiency so this will help you get through your workouts!
