Corn
According to the American Heart Association, corn contains phytochemicals that may offer heart-protective benefits, such as potassium, which helps regulate the circulatory system by managing blood pressure. It also has plenty of fiber to reduce cholesterol, and lutein (the carotenoid that provides its yellow pigmentation) to help prevent one of the main causes of heart disease: arterial stiffness.
Cashews
Cashews are a great source of magnesium, a mineral that helps lower blood pressure. A meta-analysis published in Food Nutrition Research found that higher consumption of nuts and seeds was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
