7. Broccoli
Broccoli is an excellent heart-healthy food that contains vitamin K, which helps prevent your arteries from hardening, as well as fiber, which helps reduce stress on your arteries by regulating your blood pressure.
However, be sure that you don’t overcook your broccoli because it could cause it to lose its nutrients. For a healthy, delicious side dish, simply steam the broccoli for a few minutes before serving.
