Dr. Wang Xin
Heart-healthy foods and fruits are diverse and mainly include the following categories:
1. Foods: Oatmeal, corn, soybeans, and others rich in dietary fiber and plant protein help lower cholesterol and protect the heart. Animal-based foods such as fish, chicken, and shrimp contain high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for heart health. In addition, leafy vegetables such as celery and spinach are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are also good for the heart.
2. Fruits: Apples, oranges, kiwifruit, and others rich in vitamin C and various antioxidant substances can protect the heart's blood vessels and promote heart health. Berry fruits such as strawberries and blueberries are also rich in antioxidants, which help reduce the risk of heart disease.
