You’ll want to add these heart-protective foods to your diet if they’re not a part of it already.

1. Trout: if you’ve been eating salmon frequently and want to branch out, give trout a try. Omega-3 fats are found in trout at very close to the same level as in salmon. You can find trout in the frozen section and the fresh seafood section of your grocery.

1. Avocado: while you’re grilling trout for your fish tacos, slice an avocado for a topping. Hey wait a minute. You’re thinking “avocados are high in fat, I can’t eat that…I’m on a diet”. Yes you can in reasonable amounts. Why? Because avocados contain the same heart healthy fat, called monounsaturated fat, that you find in olive oil. Plus you benefit from a nice serving of fiber, about 5 grams for half of an avocado.

1. Almonds: nuts are consistently in the news but mainly you hear about peanuts and walnuts. Listen to almonds’ credentials. They contain arginine, an amino acid that your body uses to produce nitric oxide, a chemical necessary to keep your blood vessels flexible. How about magnesium and vitamin E? When you eat almonds, you get nice doses of both of these.
