Dr. East's Healthy Heart Trends
Eat More Fiber:
Studies suggest that fiber-rich diets may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by as much as 30%.
Here are a few tips to achieve that goal:
-
Fruits like apples, pears, raspberries, and avocados are high in soluble fiber and can support heart health by reducing cholesterol absorption, particularly LDL (bad cholesterol).
-
Whole grains like oats, brown rice, and whole wheat can support heart health and help stabilize blood sugar.
-
Nuts and seeds like chia seeds, almonds, flaxseeds, and walnuts – can reduce inflammation, support heart health, and support hormone balance.
