Diet greatly influences heart health. Some foods that are not heart-healthy are those that raise blood pressure, such as excess salt and saturated and hydrogenated fats that clog arteries and hinder circulation. To care for the heart, the diet should be rich in vegetables and low in saturated and hydrogenated fats. Omega-3 fatty acids help keep arteries healthy. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in sardines, tuna, salmon, chia, flaxseed, and other foods. In addition to having a good diet, it is also necessary to lead an active life; a sedentary lifestyle harms the heart. Your heart's worst enemy is tobacco.
