Why It’s Heart Healthy  

• Root vegetables, like carrots and sweet potatoes, are rich in nutrients that support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.   

• Cauliflower contains antioxidants that lower inflammation and protect the heart and blood vessels.   

• Olive oil is a source of monounsaturated fat, also called “healthy fat”, that helps lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
