Maintaining a healthy heart isn't always easy, since it involves working out often, eating the right foods and reducing your stress levels. While yoga and meditation can help you reduce stress and increase the amount you exercise, it may be challenging to to find healthy heart foods. One simple way to change the way you eat and better your heart is to consume more omega-3 fatty acids.
Not all fats are bad for you, and omega-3s have been shown to reduce inflammation, which may help boost your cardiovascular health. These fats are abundant in olive oil, so your first step could be to substitute olive oil in recipes that call for butter. If you're used to having butter with your toast in the morning, consider dipping some whole grain bread in olive oil instead. Also, always use olive oil on your pasta rather than butter or a cream-based sauce.
Also, avocados are packed with healthy omega-3s and can add flavor to any sandwich. Spread avocado on your bread instead of mayo and you'll be surprised about how delicious this healthy alternative can be.
