Mumbai, Mar 21: If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious way to protect your heart, making the right snack choices can make a big difference. Health experts suggest swapping out processed snacks like chips and cookies for nuts and dark chocolate—a tasty yet heart-friendly alternative.
Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts, are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants that help lower bad cholesterol and reduce inflammation. Dark chocolate, especially with high cocoa content (70% or more), is rich in flavonoids, which support heart health by improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure.
Studies have shown that including these snacks in your diet can reduce the risk of heart disease while satisfying your cravings in a healthy way. So, the next time you need a snack, reach for a handful of nuts and a piece of dark chocolate—your heart will thank you!
