Some deep-sea fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines are the best foods rich in omega -3 fatty acids.

These fish are packaged in cans, and the original oil-soaked fish is changed into salt-soaked fish and water-soaked fish. Advanced and healthy production technology.

Fatty acids in peanuts and peanut oil are beneficial to human body. It won't clog our blood vessels like saturated fatty acids, and it can also help clean them. "

In addition, peanuts also contain a small amount of resveratrol, which is an antioxidant contained in red wine and has anti-cancer and cardiovascular disease prevention effects. It is precisely because of the existence of resveratrol that French people who like high-fat foods such as cheese have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, which is also known as the "French paradox."

Peanut oil, like olive oil, plays an effective role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Peanut oil is olive oil in China. Professor Chris Eisent's comprehensive evaluation shows that eating olive oil can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 25%, and eating peanut oil and peanut products can reduce the risk by 265,438+0%. This result shows that peanut oil diet, peanut and peanut butter diet, almost like olive oil diet, can effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Chocolate, our favorite food, has been quite favored by nutritionists. Because flavonoids contained in chocolate or cocoa can reduce the risk of heart disease, especially dark chocolate or pure dark chocolate.

Cocoa butter, the main component of chocolate or cocoa, contains a lot of saturated fat which is harmful to human health. However, Dr. Francene M.Steinberg said in the February issue of Journal of American Dietetic Association that the unsaturated fatty acids contained in cocoa butter are rich in flavonoids, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), that is, bad cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of heart disease. Dark chocolate is more helpful to human health than other kinds of chocolate, because it contains high concentration of flavonoids beneficial to the heart.
