Quite literally. Treat your ticker right by having more nourishing food. We’ve got the list of the best stuff to load up on, and the worst offenders to avoid.
The most important organ in our body (the heart!) never takes a break, so keep it beating strong by supplementing it with the right foods. Cut down on foods that increase your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which accumulates in the vessels and hinders blood flow. Severe clogging in the arteries may lead to heart diseases and heart attacks. At the same time, fill your plate with foods that raise your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which removes the bad (LDL) cholesterol in your body.
