Deaths due to heart problems have dropped in recent years, but it is still the No.1 killer of Americans. Healthy eating and lifestyle choices can make a huge difference. Did you know that there are superfoods for your heart?

Foods such as salmon, oatmeal, dark chocolate, soy, nuts and legumes are notably good for the heart. If you wish to go vegan but heart-healthy, make sure to consume blueberries, citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, kale, avocados, and pomegranates.

Drinking coffee, red wine and green tea and adding flax seeds and extra-virgin olive oil to your meals could help your heart remain happy for more years to come as well.
