Fitness & nutrition: Heart-smart foods
You can actually lower your blood pressure by eating healthy foods - and that will reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Fibre is essential to a heart-healthy diet, because it helps lower cholesterol, control blood glucose levels - and it keeps you feeling full.
Veggies are also an excellent source of fibre, and eating vegetables in a variety of colours gives you a wide range of nutrients.
Fruits are a great source of nutrients, and also help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Eating fresh, low-fat foods keep you feeling great, and as an added bonus - they're also great for your heart!
