Blueberries
The ever-intrepid heart researchers and nutritionists recommend three servings of blueberries and/or other berries per week to keep your heart and arteries healthy! (Read on to see what other berries come highly recommended!) Like many other foods packed with nutrients and antioxidants, blueberries help ward off some of the causes of cancer while they reduce the risk of heart disease. A true double threat. Blueberries also possess incredible anti-inflammatory properties, amazing for those suffering from inflamed bowel disease.

Beets
Beets. Betaine. B-vitamin folate. You might remember a certain member of the popular sitcom, The Office, who is a massive fan of the red vegetables. While not as infamous or catchy as Dwight’s “Beets. Bears. Battlestar Galactica.” from The Office, our list only contains things that help your heart! (The latter two are plant alkaloids and antioxidants found in beets.) Just about everything on this list lowers your chance of heart disease. Beets do it by reducing how much homocysteine is in your blood.
