Treat your heart well by eating...chocolate? Yep, it’s true -- as long as it’s dark. Here are some more delicious ideas to keep you (and your heart) happy and healthy.

Salmon

Salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help with heart health by lowering triglyceride levels (fat deposits), slowing the growth rate of your atherosclerotic plaque (the buildup in your arteries) and lowering blood pressure. Omega-3s also decreases your risk of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).
