Eat Red, yellow and orange veggies such as carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, tomatoes and acorn squash are packed with carotenoids, fiber and vitamins to help your heart.

Broccoli and asparagus are also filled with mighty good heart loving nutrients such as vitamins C and E, potassium, folate, calcium and fiber.

Eat Berries for their phytonutrient rich content and much soluble fiber that are loving to the heart- blueberries are the most nutrient rich ! Indulge indulge indulge- They are good to the brain too
Get Sweeter Eat Dark Chocolate a good friend to your heart. The higher the percentage of cocoa the better! (The fiber and protein increase with higher cocoa as the sugar decreases). You need at least 70% cocoa and best sugar free
Eat Nuts & Seeds ( maybe GF oats) All Omega 3 rich foods.
Supplement with Adaptogenic herbs such as Holy Basil and Ashwaghanda and incorporate amino acid rich spirulina to sustain your heart's health.
Truly a lot more is needed aside from food to feed my hungry heart but I know that plants can truly feed, rebuild and heal so eat them to your heart's content !
Know that in order to change your heart 's health.. You must initiate changes within Yourself first. Plants are there to help you on that journey
Becoming the mindful watcher over your nutrition is one of the key to total health and happiness.
Oh And .. I forgot to ask what & when did you last feed your inner child? This is a serious question! The heart needs daily chuckles and embraces! So laugh, love, play, rejoice and your heart will beat a different drum !
