Salmon

Sometimes called the ‘chicken of the sea’, salmon is a great salad star, sushi staple or accompaniment to a creative dish. This delicious oily fish has a lot of nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce triglyceride levels, open up constricted blood vessels, prevent blood clots and ultimately help ward off heart disease.

Tumeric

Known for its flavor that is rich and golden, turmeric is perfect for spicing up any curry. For centuries, people in the east have been using the spice for medicinal reasons, but it has become more well-known in the west for its untold nutritional value and health benefits. Research shows that there is an active compound in turmeric called curcumin, which can help in blocking cardiac hypertrophy or heart enlargement. Tumeric can also prevent obesity, dysfunctional blood vessels and high blood pressure and reduce the risks of developing heart disease.
