In this article, we detail three vegetables that when included in a balanced diet, may aid to maintain cardiovascular health according to an article written by Healthline and Medical News Today.
1. Dark leafy greens
Spinach, kale, and collard greens are just a few examples of the leafy green vegetables that are packed with health-promoting nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin K, which is essential for healthy blood clotting and artery protection. In addition to lowering blood pressure, reducing arterial stiffness, and improving the performance of blood vessel lining cells, dietary nitrates can be found in abundance in these foods. Consuming additional leafy green vegetables has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease in several studies. According to Healthline, eating a lot of dark green veggies can significantly reduce the chance of developing coronary heart disease according to studies.
2. spinach.
MedicalNewsToday reports that regular magnesium intake is associated with a more regular heartbeat. Eating spinach has indeed been linked to a variety of health benefits, and is one of the finest dietary sources of magnesium.
3. Kale.
Cholesterol is necessary for many functions in the body. It's used in the creation of bile acids, which aid in fat digestion. Cholesterol is processed by the liver creating bile acids, that are also subsequently released into the intestines after a fatty meal has been consumed. When they're done digesting fat, bile acids are reabsorbed into the bloodstream and put to good use. Some chemicals, called bile acid sequestrants, can bind bile acids in the digestive tract, preventing them from being reabsorbed. As a result, there is less cholesterol in the body overall. Cholesterol can be lowered with the help of kale's bile acid sequestrants. As a result, this may reduce one's chance of developing heart disease according to studies.
