Dark chocolate
Rx effect: reduces blood pressure
Just because you’re on a diet, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t enjoy some sweet treats from time to time. Drinking enormous quantities of minimally processed cocoa which is rich in flavanols can improve blood vessel flexibility. Dark chocolate has more of these compounds, because it has a higher cocoa content. You should try Dove Dark, because has been shown to have high levels of flavanols.
Sardines
Rx effect: lower triglycerides and raise HDL
Sardines have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for your heart health. These ‘good fats’ lower harmful triglycerides, reduce potentially fatal heart arrhythmia, raise protective HDL and minimizes inflammation. The main aspects to look for when buying sardines is to be sealed tightly and have a seemingly fresh flavor. We recommend you these wild sardines soaked in virgin oil, which also has many nutritious benefits for your blood circulation.
