A heart-healthy diet starts with colourful, antioxidant-rich foods—fill your plate with vibrant fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Eating a variety of colours each day helps fuel your body with essential nutrients and powerful plant compounds.

Don’t forget to include healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), fish, nuts, and avocado in your meals. These are key to supporting your brain, heart, and hormone health.

Easy Heart-Healthy Swaps:

• Use EVOO instead of refined oils for cooking or drizzling over meals
