foods for heart health 2024-02-08
Across
- When a cut of meat has more protein than fat, it is considered a blank protein. Someone with many muscles and a thin build may also be considered blank.
- I am a vegetable full of healthy fats, but wait until I turn brown to eat me, or I won’t be ripe!
- The opposite of natural sugar. Aim to eat less than 35 grams per day.
- Another name for a green soybean pod. I am heart healthy because I am a vegetable that has protein, but no cholesterol or sodium.
- I make food salty. In small amounts, I am needed to help muscles function correctly, but too much can cause high blood pressure, which affects how the heart pumps blood.
- When you have too much fat in the blood, this condition is called high blank. It happens when you eat too much white bread, white pasta, candy, pastries, fried foods, or red meats.
- Like trans fats, this type of fat is bad for your heart. Too much may cause plaque build-up, which blocks the flow of blood to the heart.
- The best fruits for your heart start with blue, black, straw, and rasp……
- This warm, semi-sweet spice pairs well with oats and peanut butter. It may also help reduce blood pressure, blood sugar, and triglycerides, which are fat in the blood. Hint: This is Ms. Stephanie’s favorite spice.
- This oval-shaped nut tastes great dipped in chocolate, but the healthiest versions are eaten whole, raw, and unsalted. This nut can also be ground up to make flour or turned into non-dairy milk. Nuts are one of the most heart-healthy foods we can eat.
Down
- This pink seafood is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart and brain.
- Healthy hearts need potassium. Peel and eat this fruit to get a tasty potassium boost.
- This type of tea has L-theanine, a compound that can help the heart by reducing blood pressure. Hint: it’s a color.
- This dark leafy green looks similar to Swiss chard. It is packed with nutrients, such as calcium and iron. You can eat it fresh or cooked, but my favorite way to eat it is dried. Once dehydrated and packaged in bags, they are called blank chips.
- The shape of this type of nut looks a little like the brain, which is funny because they are known for helping keep the mind sharp. However, like all nuts, this type of nut may help improve one’s HDL cholesterol, which is the good cholesterol.
- I am a flavorful food often cooked with onions in oil. Both me and onions are heart healthy foods because we reduce inflammation seen in heart disease.
- Types of me are pinto, lima, black, kidney, and navy. Eating me can help lower your cholesterol, which helps the heart.
- I am a spice known to reduce inflammation. Ground up and turned into a spice, I am yellow, but when I am whole, I look like a light brown root that was pulled out of the ground.
- I am a green leafy vegetable known for shrinking down when cooked. For a vegetable, I have a lot of iron. Iron is needed to have healthy blood pumping through the heart.
