Antioxidant-Rich Foods for a Strong Heart

🍓 Eat antioxidant-rich foods to protect your heart.

Antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body, reducing cell damage and promoting better cardiovascular health. Some antioxidant-rich foods include:

Purple grapes
Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
Spinach and broccoli
Green tea and nuts

Including these foods in your daily diet can help lower cholesterol and improve blood circulation. Additionally, these foods have a positive effect on the immune system.

Tip: Try replacing processed snacks with fresh fruit and green tea throughout the day.
