Go nuts and boost your heart health. Studies show that the humble nut can lower triglycerides and provide individuals with heart-protective nutrients. These include copper, magnesium, arginine, vitamin E and folate, along with fiber. Now that’s good news for many nut-loving women experiencing the signs and symptoms of a heart problem.
Participants in one study who ate 1.5 ounces of pistachios each day for a month, then ate three ounces daily for another month actually experienced a nine percent drop in LDL cholesterol. That was after following the low-nut diet. The decrease in unhealthy cholesterol was greater after eating more pistachios.
There are other great-tasting foods that women who are prone to heart problems can savor to their hearts’ content. Topping the list are blueberries (which may be added to whole grain cereal, pancakes or salad) and salmon. Drinking red wine has likewise been associated with a lowered rate of heart disease.
