Sardines

We’re personally big fans of sardines, but we understand that not everyone is. If you are concerned about improving your cardiovascular health, it might be time to start getting cans from the store! Sardines have plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which can then decrease the amount of triglyceride, reduce inflammation, increase the HDL levels, and reduce the likelihood of getting heart disease.

Lentils

One of the main concerns of people switching to plant-based diets is the source of protein. Luckily, legumes like lentils exist! Feel free to add it to your dishes, especially once you find out that people who regularly consume it are at less risk of contracting strokes and heart diseases. Aside from protein, lentils also come with high amounts of potassium and magnesium. Studies have shown that lentils help decrease blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and decrease blood vessel plaque build-up.
