The simplest, most effective ways to protect your heart are proven by science, NOT supplements. 
.
Let’s chat about fiber. Underrated in many ways, but a major part of reducing cardiovascular disease.
.
Each 7 gram per day increase in fiber is linked to a 9% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Get it from leafy greens, beans, nuts, seeds, and other whole plant foods. (PMID: 34724806)
.
Add whole grains, edamame, fish, and opt for olive oil instead of other oils.(PMID: 34724806.)
.
No perfection needed. Just repeatable, EVIDENCE-BASED habits that fit your life and protect your heart.
