Onion
Dishes without onions often make for quite boring spreads. Although these bad boys can make us cry seconds after cutting them open, they do help decrease blood pressure and lower the risk for heart disease…so we’ll let them stay!
Sardines
Not a lot of people like the taste of sardines. For some people, it is an acquired taste. However, research has shown that sardines are actually rich in nutrients that aid in the maintenance of the heart. As a matter of fact, this fish is brimming with omega 3 fatty acids that can naturally lower the levels of triglycerides that are harmful to your health. At the same time, it increases good cholesterol or HDL which reduces inflammation. As a result, eating sardines stops the development of many types of heart diseases in the long run.
