Chocolate
Great news for chocoholics! Not only can the sweet treat give you a happy fix instantly, but it can also lower your risk of strokes and heart disease! A study from Harvard revealed that people who had a regular intake of some raw cocoa showed no hypertension signs and had lower blood pressure. Because dark chocolate is naturally loaded with antioxidants called flavnols, eating a moderate amount of it can help lower blood pressure, boost flexibility of blood vessels, and ultimately ward off heart-related diseases.

Sardines
Even though for some people, sardines are an acquired taste, studies have indicated that large amounts of healthy heart-boosting nutrients can actually be found in the cold fish. As a matter of fact, sardines are bursting with omega 3 fatty acids, a type of fat that can decrease the harmful triglyceride levels, increase good cholesterol or protective HDL levels, decrease inflammation and ultimately help put a stop to heart disease.
