Nutritionists often face this question, “Is there any other way to keep my heart healthy, besides healthy food intake?” Sadly though, we fail to understand the fact that the primary and best option for a healthy heart is healthy foods.

A cup sized serving of beets will provide the body with 60 calories, 0 fat, and around 40% of the daily value of the required folic acid intake, and contains fiber of around four grams. Even the leaves and stems of beets are full of nutrition.

A cup contains about 20 Calories, with 2 grams of fiber, and loaded in with sulforaphane, which is a cancer-fighting chemical, which has a proven helpful in preventing or decreasing cellular damage all throughout the body.

Swiss Chard: It is a great provider of ‘lutein’ and ‘zeaxanthin’ – an excellent pair of matched antioxidants.
