Heart disease is linked to chronic inflammation, but your diet can help keep it under control. Dr. Randy Gould explains, “An anti-inflammatory diet supports heart health by lowering inflammatory markers.” He says that this makes blood vessels work better and helps stop atherosclerosis, blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. An anti-inflammatory diet is based on foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fatty fish, olive oil, and herbs.
Gould suggests our Salmon with Lemon-Herb Orzo and Broccoli for a quick, heart-healthy meal. It follows the rules for heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory foods, takes less than 30 minutes to make, and has a 4.8-star rating, so many people have it for supper again and again. Without a shadow of a doubt, omega-3 fatty acids are among the most essential nutrients for lowering inflammation and promoting healthy heart function. This recipe calls for salmon, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids and one of the main reasons Dr. Gould says you should eat fish.
