Bananas
If you remember the 1997 classic, “Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves”, then you know that bananas are packed with potassium! (If that statement confuses you, we suggest catching up on Rick Moranis’ filmography!) Bananas truly have it all: protein, fiber, resistant starch, and the aforementioned potassium. This low-energy-dense food helps everything from weight loss, muscle performance, heartbeat, and blood pressure. Keep your heart healthy and reach for a banana, especially if you can’t find the potassium pills and your parents have shrunk and can’t help you find your potassium pills!

Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is a key Mediterranean ingredient and adds a heart-healthy boost for everything from sautéing to dipping bread. This oil is packed with monounsaturated fat, which helps lower harmful LDL cholesterol, keeps your blood flows uninhibited, and helped keep your blood glucose at healthy levels. In moderation, moderation, moderation. An olive-oil rich diet will also reduce the effects of inflammation, thanks to the natural oil’s high antioxidant content, mimicking the effects of ibuprofen.
