Here’s why a healthy diet matters for your heart:

  • Reduce Cholesterol Levels: Eating foods low in saturated fats and trans fats can lower your LDL ("bad") cholesterol and help reduce plaque buildup in your arteries.

  • Lower Blood Pressure: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help manage and reduce high blood pressure, one of the major risk factors for heart disease.

  • Control Weight: A healthy diet supports weight management, which reduces the strain on your heart and lowers the risk of developing heart-related conditions.

  • Boost Heart Function: Nutrient-rich foods, like leafy greens, nuts, and fatty fish, contain antioxidants and omega-3s that help protect and strengthen your heart.

Your diet is one of the most powerful tools you have to take care of your heart. By making small adjustments, you can make a big impact on your cardiovascular health.
