Beets
These purple superstars contain high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including B-vitamin folate and the plant alkaloid known as betaine. Aside from being a colorful, crunchy and tasty addition to a salad, beets can also bring down homocysteine levels in the blood, which can reduce the chances of developing heart disease. Studies have also shown that beets have other secret powers, such as strengthening different organs and preventing diseases like cancer.

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.
