Heart Health

Nutritious foods that contain Omega EFAs (essential fatty acids) and antioxidants are great for your heart. Foods such as mackerel, salmon and almonds are all great choices of heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats. These fats are also good forms of cholesterol, and they combat bad cholesterol by reducing the levels of it and thus reducing your risk of heart disease and other heart-related illnesses.
