The work of the heart is influenced by several complex factors: for example, heredity, smoking, diet. According to doctors, to keep your heart healthy, you need to include plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole grains in your diet. However, some of them are more beneficial than others. The cardiologist talked about the fruit that, in her opinion, is worth eating every day.

Avocado contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are necessary for a healthy diet for the heart. They prevent diseases and rid the body of “bad” cholesterol, the doctor notes. The fruit is rich in fiber and reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome (a condition that threatens heart disease, diabetes, and stroke). In addition, avocado lowers blood pressure, contains magnesium and potassium, and restores joints.

The specialist recommends eating half of the fruit every morning. It can be added to sandwiches, salads and smoothies, complemented with herbs, fruits and vegetables.
