Avocados
Avocados are a good source of monounsaturated fats that are good for your heart health. They help reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of having heart murmurs. Doctors recommend consuming at least two servings of avocado every week. Studies show that avocado may also help improve:
- LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, including levels of small, dense LDL cholesterol
- Triglyceride levels
- Vascular function
Avocados contain high levels of potassium, a mineral that helps maintain good heart health and reduce blood pressure. Studies show that one serving of avocado (150 grams) offers about 725 milligrams of potassium. Add avocado to your diet today to reduce your chances of developing heart murmur.
