2. Oats

No other food was proven to increase cardiovascular health over the humble oat grain.

The assert applies to a daily ingestion of 3 g of soluble fiber from barley or oats (due to these heart-healthy beta-glucan fibers they feature that help lower cholesterol and also assist with weight reduction ).

3. Apples

There is no denying that apples create a tasty and convenient bite. And regardless of what colour apple you pick, each one supplies unique advantages to your heart.

All apples contain 4 grams of fiber each ounce, which can be just one reason they are so valuable for heart health.

They also supply antioxidants like vitamin C and quercetin which encourage a healthy immune system. Apples also have a particular kind of fiber called pectin, which soaks up extra cholesterol and fat and makes it much easier for the body to get rid of them.
