This calming tea packed with antioxidants, which makes it another ally in the fight against plaque in arteries! And it does that while lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Can someone make a wine-coffee-green tea super cocktail so we can get all the benefits at once? (Just kidding, don’t do that! Gross.) To make the perfect cup of green tea, allow the freshly-boiled kettle water to cool just a little bit before starting the teamaking process.

We know its names for the kidney but – surprise! – kidney beans really “bean-efits” your brain and heart. (“Heart & Brain Bean” just doesn’t have that same ring to it.) Kidney beans help boost your memory on top of the plethora of heart benefits, like lowering homocysteine (and therefore your risk of having a heart attack). This bean is low in fat and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which reduces the risk of peripheral vascular diseases, strokes, cancer, and diabetes. Certainly, that makes it the #1 kidney shaped food on this heart-healthy list!
