Try These Heart Healthy Summer Meals!
Summer is the perfect time to lighten up your meals — and give your heart a healthy boost while you’re at it.
“The best meals for your heart tend to be colorful, seasonal and packed with nutrients that support your cardiovascular system,” says Bradley Biskup, PA, a lifestyle medicine specialist with the Heart & Vascular Institute at Hartford HealthCare. “And summer is a great time to take advantage of fresh produce, lean proteins and outdoor grilling.”
Looking for inspiration? Get creative with these six heart-healthy summer meals that are way more exciting than a plain salad.
1. Grilled salmon tacos with mango salsa: These tacos are a triple threat when it comes to heart health: omega-3-rich salmon, fiber-filled whole grain tortillas, and a punchy, antioxidant-packed salsa.
