My family's health is a top priority. So, I find it important to know the best things to eat to prevent heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).



Nutrition experts from The Cleveland Clinic and the American Dietetic Association have put together a list of the "best of the best" heart-healthy foods. They include:

*Salmon...
*Flaxseed (ground)
*Oatmeal
*Black or Kidney Beans
*Almonds
*Walnuts
*Red wine
*Tuna
*Tofu
*Brown rice
*Soy milk
*Blueberries
*Carrots
*Spinach
*Broccoli
*Sweet potato
*Red bell peppers
*Asparagus
*Oranges
*Tomatoes
*Acorn squash
*Cantaloupe
*Papaya
*Dark chocolate
*Tea


It's fun to create delicious dishes with the above ingredients. Feel free to share some of your heart healthy recipes too!
