improve the treatment of osteoporosis<\/strong> because they maintain healthy bones. However, its consumption should be moderate, since it has a great caloric intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother fruit that has important benefits on the heart is strawberries<\/strong>. Because they help to dilate the arteries, protect the endothelium<\/strong> (inner layer of blood vessels) and control blood pressure<\/strong>. As for vegetables, broccoli helps eliminate LDL cholesterol, lowers blood glucose, and can reduce or delay the onset of diabetes and high blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRaw nuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The regular consumption of nuts in small quantities provides great benefits on some of the problems caused by the arrival of menopause: they help reduce cholesterol, the body mass index and the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, type diabetes 2 and metabolic syndrome, and strengthen the bone system. It is recommended to consume them raw and without salt. Within this category, the best choice is walnuts<\/strong> due to their high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVegetables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The consumption of four weekly servings of 100 grams can reduce the risk of heart attack and angina pectoris by up to 14%, as well as the levels of LDL cholesterol (\u201cbad\u201d cholesterol), and also helps control weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More fish and less red meat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It is recommended to consume blue fish because, unlike white fish, it contains omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain optimal blood cholesterol levels. To protect the heart, 3 to 4 servings should be consumed per week. The most recommended is salmon<\/strong>. The high consumption of meat and sausages is discouraged,<\/strong> since they contain saturated fats that increase the level of LDL cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVegetable oils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Daily consumption of olive oil protects the heart thanks to its fatty acid composition and its antioxidant effects. It is recommended to always use extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, you should avoid the consumption of salt and foods rich in sodium (canned, olives, seafood, smoked, concentrated broths, sauces or sweeteners), reduce the intake of saturated fat and high-calorie foods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
