15 Incredibly Heart-Healthy Foods Heart disease accounts for nearly one-third of all deaths worldwide. Diet plays a major role in heart health and can impact your risk of heart disease. In fact, certain foods can influence blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol levels and inflammation, all of which are risk factors for heart disease. Here are 15 foods that you should be eating to maximize your heart health. Leafy green vegetables Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and collard greens are well-known for their wealth of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In partic-ular, they’re a great source of vitamin K, which helps protect your arteries and promote proper blood clotting. Whole Grains Whole grains include all three nutrient-rich parts of the grain: germ, endosperm and bran. Common types of whole grains include whole wheat, brown rice, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and quinoa. Berries Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are jam-packed with important nutrients that play a central role in heart health. Ber-ries are also rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which protect against the oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to the develop-ment of heart disease. Avacados Avocados are an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which have been linked to reduced levels of cholesterol and a lower risk of heart disease. Fatty Fish and Fish Oil Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which have been studied extensively for their heart-health benefits. Walnuts Walnuts are a great source of fiber and micronutrients like magnesium, copper and manganese. Research shows that incorporating a few serv-ings of walnuts in your diet can help protect against heart disease. Beans Beans contain resistant starch, which resists digestion and is fermented by the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Dark Chocolate Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants like flavonoids, which can help boost heart health. Tomatoes Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, a natural plant pigment with powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals, preventing oxidative damage and inflammation, both of which can contribute to heart disease. Almonds Almonds are incredibly nutrient-dense, boasting a long list of vitamins and minerals that are crucial to heart health. Seeds Chia seeds, flaxseeds and hemp seeds are all great sources of heart-healthy nutrients, including fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Garlic For centuries, garlic has been used as a natural remedy to treat a variety of ailments. In recent years, research has confirmed its potent medici-nal properties and found that garlic can even help improve heart health. Olive Oil A staple in the Mediterranean diet, the heart-healthy benefits of olive oil are well documented. Olive oil is packed with antioxidants, which can relieve inflammation and decrease the risk of chronic disease. Edamame Edamame is an immature soybean frequently found in Asian cuisine. Like other soy products, edamame is rich in soy isoflavones, a type of flavonoid that may help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health. Green Tea Green tea has been associated with a number of health benefits, from increased fat burning to improved insulin sensitivity.

Health and Wellness Corner! An active retirement is the best!
Do you feel as good now as you did at age 40? How about at age 50? You might be able to feel as good as you used to with new, healthy habits. You might even feel better. While it may seem like a lot of effort to develop new habits, it’s worth it. Even small changes can improve your health.
Path to improved well being Diet and exercise are the two most important changes you can make. Even if you’ve never been active, it’s time to get started. A healthy diet and physical activity is good at any age. As you age, these healthy habits strengthen mus-
cles and bones. Strong muscles and bones reduce serious injuries related to fall. When your muscles are strong, activi-ties like getting up from a chair or opening a door are easier. When lifting weights, start with a 1-pound or 5-pound weight. If you don’t have weights, use a can of soup, a book, or a full bottle of water. Keep your weights in the same room as your television. Do a few exercises while you watch. Another way to build muscle is to use a resistance band. This also is called an exercise band. Resistance bands are flexible and come in different lengths. They are commonly used to strengthen upper arm and leg muscles. Try these tips when aiming for a healthy diet and exercise.
Diet You don’t have to change your diet all at once. Try making 1 small change at a time. For example, instead of eating 2 slices of white toast for breakfast, replace 1 of them with a slice of whole grain bread. If you drink orange juice every day, eat an orange instead for 3 days a week. Eat whole fruit rather than drinking fruit juice. If you like salty snacks, try low-fat popcorn instead of potato chips. Add more fiber to your diet. Fiber reduces constipation, helps with weight loss, reduces the risk of diabetes, pre-diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, and lowers your blood cholesterol level. Men over age 50 should get 30 grams of fiber per day; women over age 50 should get 21 grams per day. Good sources of fiber include beans, whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. Try the Mediterranean diet. This heart-healthy diet pro-motes foods such as fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. It does not include a lot of meat, dairy, or sweets. Drink more water. Water flushes out toxins. Staying hydrated will give you more energy.
Exercise Exercise can improve chronic diseases, such as diabetes. And it can improve your emotional outlook. A healthy diet and exercise feeds your brain. This improves your decision-making abilities as you get older. Consider these changes: Exercise 20 to 30 minutes on most days. A combination of aerobic (walking, swimming) and strength training (weights) is best. Walking is one of the easiest activities to start. You don’t have to do all 30 minutes at once. Try walking for 15 minutes twice each day. Or walk for 10 minutes 3 times each day. Exercise with a partner. This makes exercising more fun and it’s social. Consider a group, an individual, or even your dog. If you don’t like to walk, con-sider other activities. Try gardening, dancing, fishing, tai chi, or yoga. Any active activity that you enjoy can benefit your health.
Things to consider Talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program. about your plans before you start. Your muscles will very likely be sore when you first increase your physical activity. But don’t consider that a reason to stop. Mild soreness will go away in a few days as you become more used to exercise. How active you are and what you eat are habits. Adopting healthy habits can be tough at first. By starting small and rewarding yourself for each step you take, you can make a difference in how good you feel. You may find it easier to be more physically active and eat more fiber if you think of every day and every meal as a chance to do something good for yourself.
Questions to ask your doctor Do I need a full exam before changing my diet and physical activity? Can I stop taking my prescription medicines if I adopt a healthy diet and exercise? What exercises do you recommend for people who have heart conditions, arthritis and other medical issues?
