Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Though we will always love Californication, we’re not quite sure if the spicy rock band are so good for your heart. However, the real red hot chilli peppers, the feisty vegetable kind, contain capsaicin which can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This is good news for your heart health, but we wouldn’t recommend eating a raw, spicy pepper whole, like this guy! He may need some water…
Ginger
Awesome news for ginger fans… studies show that the fragrant cooking spice is also linked to a healthier heart. In fact, if you consume ginger daily, it can help reduce the risk of many conditions, like high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. It is also a great sushi companion, which is great news for sushi lovers!
