 According to The Mayo Clinic, the number one heart healthy food that we can eat is salmon. It is packed with omega 3 fatty acids which helps reduce inflammation and keeps our blood from clotting excessively. When eaten two or three times per week, it can help protect us from problems like heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia, high blood pressure and high triglycerides. It is truly a heart healthy food!
