Cardio is good for your heart, but so is eating. Your heart is a muscle the size of a fist, and its work depends on how well you treat it. Potent nutrition is a major factor. What you eat makes your heart either stronger or puts a strain on it.
How do you ensure what you eat offers all the benefits for a strong and healthy heart? Superfoods are loaded with nutrients and phytochemicals that support the health of your blood vessels, help restore and repair vein tissue, help decrease cholesterol, and reduce blood sugar. They are paramount for your heart's health.
