Lentils

The next item on our list is yet another incredible legumes – lentils, of course. They are loaded with folic acid, fiber, magnesium, vitamins, and plenty of potassium! Interestingly, they actually offer more potassium than a banana does. Aside from these incredible facts, did you know that lentils can improve your dish or soup? If you’re not convinced that it is great for your cardiovascular health, we’ll have you know that it was recommended by the DASH diet, a nutritional regimen with the goal to decrease blood pressure.

Mackerel

Mackerel is a great alternative if you are getting a little sick of eating tuna and salmon! We particularly like it with our salad, but whatever floats your boat!
