Top Heart-Healthy Foods: Best Foods for Cardiovascular Health:

"'There really is an abundance of fruits and vegetables in many colors, shapes, sizes that are good for your heart,' says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD, a dietitian with the Preventive Cardiology Center at The Cleveland Clinic. 'You can definitely reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease by eating these foods every day.'

Indeed, fresh produce provide the cornerstone for a heart-healthy diet because they help wipe out free radicals in the bloodstream, protecting blood vessels.

It's what Zumpano calls 'the whole-foods diet. You want everything to be in its natural form, as it comes from the ground, the less processed the better"

Given all the recent studies, maybe we should add "we hope" to this ;)
