Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains: These foods are rich in nutrients and fiber, and can help lower your risk of heart disease.

Choose healthy fats: Instead of saturated and trans fats, opt for monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. These fats can help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
