Diet plays a fundamental role in the proper functioning of the heart. In this sense, it is important to know how to prioritize foods that take care of the organ, whose functioning has implications for the entire body.
The heart is the “engine” responsible for circulating blood throughout our body. It is through the blood, pumped by the heart, that the entire body and cells receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.
In addition to nourishing the heart with positive emotions, food plays a fundamental role in its proper functioning and balance. This is always taking into account that the functioning of this organ directly impacts our entire health, through the quality of the blood pulse (so that it can reach all the extremities and body cells).
So, what types of foods can we prioritize to properly nourish our heart?
Beet: rich in vitamins such as folic acid, potassium and vitamin C, Beet It is a strong blood tonic (ideal for those who need to nourish it or correct deficiencies) and also helps to improve the quality of vision. When consumed raw, it activates the central nervous system, so the consumption of raw beetroot is not recommended for those with a more "restless" nervous system.
Bitter taste of good quality, such as cocoa, saffron, sesame seeds, lettuce, green tea, radish, among others.
Red beans: with a low presence of fat and a high concentration of protein. It is rich in fiber, but mainly in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and zinc.
Red plum: It has an important moisturizing function due to the concentration of water and vitamins.
Celery: powerful ally for lowering blood pressure in SOS situations. Interesting for its excellent concentration of fiber and water.
Tip: Choose foods that have a red color. After all, it is the color of love and the heart, right?
In addition to physical functions, emotions such as joy and security are closely linked to the heart. This, in addition to love, of course. When the heart is out of balance, characteristics such as anxiety, uncontrolled expansiveness and mental rigidity are more common.
Therefore, to help your heart even more, avoid regular consumption of sugar, alcohol and processed foods. This will help to get the blood where it needs to go, without having to pump it with effort, without having to deal with veins and arteries with reduced space (due to the accumulation of fat).
