Nutrition for heart

A healthy heart?

The main enemy of the cardiovascular system - the "bad" cholesterol. Mayonnaise, butter and other cholesterol "bomb" causes the deposition of fat clots in the blood vessel walls
which slows down blood flow. Reduce intake of cholesterol is not enough - it is important to keep still for the vitamins and minerals,
of which "built" our vessels: potassium, magnesium, omega-3 and vitamins C, E, B12, B9 and B3. Nutritionists recommend that instead of mayonnaise salads, yogurt,
or fill in the extreme case of sour cream. Most eat fish and diversify food with the most basic techniques: Keep a jar on the kitchen table with nuts and dried fruits,
as well as make it a rule for every trip to the store to buy bunch of fresh greens. When cooking, add fresh herbs to any savory dish, the same applies to the nuts with dried fruit, and the usual vegetables.

What to eat?

Cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, white fish (cod, flounder), oily fish (tuna, salmon), cereals (red and black rice, bulgur, buckwheat),
