This isn’t the best diet for heart health! For a healthy heart, prioritize nutrient-dense foods that contain the active form of vitamin A, heme iron, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and high-quality complete protein.Here are the top 10 superfoods for your heart!1. Red meatI’m sure you’re surprised to see this on the list! Grass-fed red meat contains high-quality amino acids that support the mitochondria in the heart. It’s also a potent source of CoQ10, stearic acid, carnitine, carnosine, zinc, and vitamin B12. 2. Butter Grass-fed butter is very healthy for your heart! It’s loaded with vitamin K2, which helps remove calcium from the arteries. It also contains butyrate, CLA, the active form of vitamin A, and stearic acid.3. Egg yolkEgg yolks are rich in choline, which helps prevent a fatty liver. Liver fat can spill over into the heart in the form of epicardial fat. Egg yolks also contain vitamin K2 and carotenoids. 4. CheeseRaw, aged cheese is rich in vitamin K2 and contains natural ACE inhibitors, which help support healthy blood pressure.5. Shellfish Oysters, mussels, and clams are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and various trace minerals, including zinc, copper, iron, and magnesium.6. Organ meatsGrass-fed, grass-finished liver and other organ meats contain omega-3s, CoQ10, vitamin A, B12, and trace minerals like copper. You can also consume cod liver for the same benefits! 7. Fermented foodsFoods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and natto are rich in vitamin K2. Natto contains nattokinase, which helps support healthy blood pressure.8. Sea salt Sea salt contains 80 to 90 different minerals. Low sodium levels can lead to high blood pressure and increased cortisol levels.9. Fatty fish Wild-caught salmon, sardines, anchovies, and mackerel are potent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.10. Collagen Bone broth and the skin of chicken and fish are excellent sources of collagen. Ten percent of the collagen you consume is in the form of peptide chains, which can help the body repair collagenous structures in the body.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
