Healthy foods for the heart


Ellen says:Nothing matters more than taking good care of our heart. Getting regular exercise, not smoking, and controlling stress are just a few things health experts recommend, along with eating a variety of nutritious, heart-healthy foods that make up a healthy diet.

"Add these 2 "super-foods" to boost nutritional goodness while eating your way to a healthier heart."

Oatmeal
We need plenty of it each day. Oats are nourishing whole grains and a great source of vitamins, minerals, and cholesterol-lowering fiber. A diet high in oats can reduce the risk for heart disease. Oats lower cholesterol levels, keep you regular, and may help prevent certain cancers.


Salmon
This cold-water fish is a great source of protein and is also packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Eating salmon and other omega-3 rich foods twice a week for benefits that go beyond heart health. I love salmon because it is so versatile, easy to cook, and tastes great.Salmon cooks in a matter of minutes and its delicate texture quickly absorbs the flavor of added ingredients.
