Best vegetables (and fruits) to protect your heart
3. Fermented vegetables act as a “heart antioxidant”
Perhaps the most common and popular fermented vegetable is sauerkraut, which provides lots of fiber and healthy bacteria (probiotics) that promote heart health. For example, probiotic-rich sauerkraut can reduce inflammation, improve high blood pressure, lower triglyceride levels, maintain healthy cholesterol, and support gut health. Fermented cabbage also typically contains Lactobacillus plantarum, bacteria associated with boosting the activities of powerful antioxidants and ultimately aiding in detoxification.
Other fermented vegetables include:
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Miso
- Tempeh
- Kimchi
- Any pickled vegetables
- Kombucha
