The Five Worst Foods for Your Arteries

Research Report

Diets Duke It Out!

Just as eating the wrong foods—like trans fats and refined carbohydrates—can clog your arteries, eating the right foods can keep them healthy, flexible, and clear.

Top Five Foods for Fit Arteries

Fatty fish and fish oils. Fatty fish, like albacore tuna, salmon, halibut, mackerel, lake trout, and sardines, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in your body and may lower your risk of atherosclerosis.

Oatmeal and oat bran. Oats are whole grains and are chock full of soluble fiber that can help lower your LDL-cholesterol levels by transporting it out of your body.

Almonds, walnuts, and other nuts. Low in saturated fat and high in lots of other nutrients (like calcium and magnesium), almonds and other nuts are phytochemical powerhouses and may help to prevent cancer, reduce risk of heart attack, lower LDL-cholesterol, and counter inflammation.

Extra-virgin olive oil. A mainstay of “the world’s healthiest diet,” the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats and boosts HDL-cholesterol levels while lowering LDL-cholesterol.

Fruits and vegetables, especially cabbage and cousins: broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy. All fruits and vegetables contain health-boosting phytochemicals, but the cruciferous vegetables are particularly good for you. They fight free radicals and may help to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
