Don’t forget the vegetables and fruit. In the last twenty years there has been a huge expansion in the variety of vegetables and fruits in stores. You are no longer limited to seasonal vegetables, such as cabbages, brussel sprouts, carrots, and peas. You can now buy broccoli, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, avocados, and dozens of other vegetables all year round.
The same goes for fruits. Oranges come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of sweetness, and you can buy fresh pineapple, grapes, melons, kiwi fruits, papaya, mangoes, and guavas. As with vegetables, you are no longer limited to seasonal fruits such as apples, plums, and pears.
The rule is to eat at least five portions of fruit and of vegetables every day. They are not only enjoyable, but they can be a positive aid to improving the circulation. Recent research suggests that antioxidant substances, which are found in abundance in fruit, vegetables, and cereals (antioxidants include vitamins C and E), are vital to the health and integrity of the arterial walls. They may even help to reverse the changes of atheroma, so eat up!
Changing your style of eating will do more than just reduce your cholesterol levels, it may also improve your circulation, and will, in any case, be very pleasant and fulfilling.
