Young women tend to be oblivious to heart disease, but that attitude itself is a big risk. How you eat today helps predict how healthy your heart will be 30 years from now.
Cherries. According to researchers, anthocyanins in dark cherries reduce belly fat and lower cholesterol and blood sugar.
Dark chocolate. Rich in flavonoids, chocolate is believed to promote heart health by reducing platelet activation, affecting the relaxation capabilities of blood vessels. One ounce of dark chocolate has 5,900 ORAC points.
*ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity.
