Seaweed
Use it in sushi or as a standalone treat! Seaweed is a rare veggie that provides a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also loaded with components that prevent sudden strokes or heart attacks, like magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, and iodine. Be on the lookout for seaweed listed as “nori” on a menu and rock’n’(sushi) roll with this heart-healthy ingredient! Seaweed is a fantastically healthy alternative to fattening snacks like chips for those serious about their health that cannot help getting the munchies.
Black Tea
Warm yourself up with a cup of heart-healthy antioxidants that will help even the most black-hearted among us lower blood pressure & LDL cholesterol levels. (Don’t forget: LDL is bad, HDL is good!) Black tea is often ignored by those crazy about green tea, but even though it is not as fancy as its colorful cousins, black tea is still incredibly healthy. Just ask the British! You could be lowering your blood pressure and your risk of suffering a stroke by drinking a few cups of black tea a day.
