"A healthy diet is one of the most powerful weapons against cardiovasular disease", says Rachel K. Johnson, Ph.D., R.D., a spokesperson for the American Heart Association.
Aim for a wide variety of produce, since various fruits and vegetables provide different antioxidants.
Whole grains like barley are also key, because they help contain soluable fiber that helps lower LDL cholesterol.
As for protein, most protein should come from plant sources, and lean sources such as eggs, poultry and omega-3-rich fish.
