Heart health is one of the most important things you can work on for yourself. With a great heart, you will feel more lively, energised and able to complete your day-to-day taste. However, with how much stress we deal with daily, our hearts can take a toll, even when we don't want them to. But did you know that eating the right food can help to improve your heart health and turn back time on the damage of stress, poor diet and other health conditions?
Not sure which foods can improve your heart health?
Some of them include:
Citrus
Citrus is known for its cholesterol-fighting fibre, which is fantastic for lowering your chances of heart disease, heart attack and other heart-related problems. Citrus fruits are also incredibly rich in potassium, which can control blood pressure and reduce your chances of heart attack and health issues. All citrus is great for you, but oranges and mandarins are known to be the best for fighting heart-related problems. Luckily for you, our Jaffa Latte also had a healthy dose of orange to get you going.
Wholegrains
Wholegrains are high in fibre and nutrients that are great for the heart, especially those that regulate blood pressure. However, it's important to note that not all grains are great for the heart. For example, grains like plain flour, white bread, cornbread, cakes, pies and egg noodles are not always great for the body, especially when they have added sugar and high salt levels. Some grains that are fantastic for your heart, however, include whole-wheat flour, high-fibre cereal, barley, buckwheat, and oatmeal.
Fortunately, our Superfood Breakfast Bowls are made with countless whole grains and seeds, including buckwheat. So, they won't only boost your digestion; they'll also improve your heart health, especially when consumed regularly.
Dark Chocolate
Yes, one of your favourite foods is 100% great for the heart. In fact, dark chocolate has been researched and is now believed to have protective benefits for the arteries. When consumed regularly (but in moderation), it can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It's important that before you begin consuming dark chocolate aplenty, you look at the ingredients of the dark chocolate you are consuming. Choosing one that is high in sugar will have the complete opposite effect.
Our Cacao Latte is a dairy-free and sugar-free dark chocolate hot chocolate that is delicious and will have you reaping those benefits in no time.
Green Tea
Are you drinking enough tea? Green tea is known to contribute to a small reduction in cholesterol, which is a major contributor to heart disease. It is also effective in supporting those with high blood pressure to reduce their risk of heart-related diseases and conditions. Green tea and green tea-related products, like Matcha, are also great for improving overall organ health. It's especially great for the brain, lungs and kidneys, giving your body that detox flush-out it needs. Ready to reap the benefits? Try our believed Matcha Latte today.
Fatty Fish
We've said it before, and we'll say it again. The right fatty foods can be transformative for how you feel, and fatty fish is one of those life-changing fatty products. High in omega-3, salmon and tuna can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart rhythm disorders and improve your overall health. This fish is also fantastic for boosting energy levels and giving you what you need to thrive, especially in busy periods when your brain needs that extra oomph.
You don't need to eat a lot of it to feel the benefits, either. Adding to your diet once or twice a week can have almost immediate benefits.
