Healthy food for heart patient

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.Not only in US around the world.Dietary advice for reducing heart disease risk includes eating a balanced diet.Here are some of the dietary food can taken by heart patient,
SALMON RECEPIE
Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that protect your heart by reducing both inflammation and the risk of blood clots. These fats also work to keep your cholesterol levels healthy. Eat salmon or other oily ocean fish like tuna, sardines or herring at least two times per week. For a heart-healthy meal, try grilled salmon steaks with a green vegetable and a side salad with a sprinkling of lemon juice instead of high-calorie salad dressing. 
OLIVE OIL


 




Olive oil reduces your risk of heart disease by lowering your LDL cholesterol levels. Choose olive oil for cooking,
Oats














OATS




Oats contain a soluble fiber called beta glucan that helps reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Soluble fiber also helps keep your digestive system healthy.








APPLE
ALMOND
                   
Apples contain a phytochemical called quercetin which acts as an antiinflammatory and will help prevent blood clots as well.

Almonds and other nuts contain healthy oils, vitamin E and other substances that will help keep cholesterol levels in check.
WHOLE GRAIN RECEPIES
Whole grains provide vitamins and fiber that will help to keep your heart healthy. Make a deliciously healthy sandwich with two slices of 100-percent whole-grain bread, three ounces of lean turkey breast, lots of sliced tomatoes and avocado, plus lettuce and a bit of mustard. Switch from white pasta to whole grain pasta too.

TOMATO
Green leafy vegetables contain folate, which helps to keep homocysteine levels down, and vitamin E.
Tomatoes are packed with vitamins and lycopene, which has been shown to reduce heart disease risk. Add thick slices of tomatoes to sandwiches and salads or enjoy tomato sauce on whole wheat pasta. In fact, cooked tomato sauce and canned tomato sauce that you buy in the store both contain more lycopene than raw tomatoes.
