Red Hot Chili Peppers
Excuse the comparison, but besides making for a fantastic rock band, this terrifyingly spicy vegetable is, in fact, great for your heart! The tiny terrors contain capsaicin, and this neuropeptide helps lower cholesterol levels and maintain healthy blood pressure. While they are a great addition to your diet for heart health, it might not be a good idea to ingest them whole, sort of like this guy! Too much chili can be bad for your insides!

Ginger
If you’re a sushi-lover, we have great news for you! This wonderfully-smelling spice has been linked to the maintenance of a healthy heart. You might be surprised to learn that a small daily intake of ginger can lower the risk of developing coronary heart disease and even hypertension. It’s no wonder that this superfood has been a vital part of recipes for centuries. Whenever you feel a cold coming on, make a hot toddy out of lemon slices, grated ginger, and honey.
