11. Flaxseeds
Are you looking for foods that can protect your old ticker? Flaxseeds is your answer! They contain heart-healthy omega-3 fats that can guard your heart like no other. Plus, flaxseeds are a great source of insoluble fiber, which can minimize heart disease risk while improving blood sugar management.
People who struggle to lower their blood pressure should also include flaxseeds into their diets. A study involving more than 1,000 people with prediabetes found that daily intake of flaxseed powder lowered their blood pressure significantly.
All in all, flaxseeds are great for both your gut and heart health so, no matter if you’re dealing with diabetes or not, try to sprinkle some over your salads or Greek yogurt.
