The first place among the causes of death in Russia is occupied by cardiovascular diseases. This means that they need serious prevention throughout their lives.
Dr. Svetlana Ishchenko told what products can be used to influence the state of blood vessels and prevent heart pathologies.
“The most obvious way to influence the situation is through food. We are what we eat! I have compiled a list of products that provide the most tangible recovery to our vessels and heart, ”the expert says.
First place is fish, especially oily sea. Not necessarily expensive salmon, you can also have more budget options – herring, pollock. Fish contains healthy fatty acids, omega-3s, which help to reduce “bad” cholesterol and raise “good” cholesterol. In addition, fish is a source of protein.
An additional source of healthy fats for our body are nuts. Perhaps the most affordable – walnut. It is desirable that nuts in small quantities be present on the table every day. Before use, be sure to soak them.
Extremely useful spice for blood vessels and the heart is turmeric. Its taste goes well with meat and vegetables. The curcumin contained in this seasoning works as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, reduces the risk of damage to the walls of blood vessels. Combining turmeric with pepper, you can significantly increase its beneficial properties.
