The good news? Small, daily habits can make a big impact! Here are five simple habits to help keep your heart strong and healthy.

What you put on your plate plays a major role in heart health. Focus on nutrient-rich foods that support cardiovascular function:

• Leafy greens (like spinach and kale) help lower blood pressure.
• Berries are packed with antioxidants that protect the heart.
• Healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and olive oil support cholesterol balance.
• Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or flaxseeds can reduce inflammation.
