Supplements and medications fail to prevent cardiovascular disease

Condition analysis:
Folic acid and antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin E, C, and beta-carotene should not be used to prevent cardiovascular disease in women [according to 2011 American Heart Association guidelines].

What’s more, hormone replacement therapy should not be used to prevent heart attacks or strokes.

Instructions:
1) Broccoli:
Broccoli can provide the body with healthy nutrients and calcium, which is good for the heart. One cup of broccoli offers 90 milligrams of calcium.

2) Increase Calcium Intake:
Adding more calcium-rich foods to your diet can keep your heart healthy. Dietary suggestions include salmon, figs, pinto beans, okra, and kale.

3) Chicken:
Since vitamin B6 helps maintain a healthy heart, consuming three ounces of chicken will satisfy 1/3 of your daily requirement for the vitamin.
