Heart-Healthy Superfoods to Add to Your Pantry for a Stronger Heart

Need a Snack? Grab Some Almonds

Almonds are heart-healthy and delicious. A 2018 review in Nutrients found that almonds can significantly reduce your LDL cholesterol, a major heart disease risk factor.

The Indian Heart Association also points out that almonds increase HDL cholesterol, which helps protect your heart. One study even showed that people with coronary artery disease saw improvements in both HDL and LDL cholesterol after eating almonds.
