Plants are heart protectors. NIH says more veggies, fruits, and legumes—less meat—cuts heart risk by 20%. They’re packed with fiber, antioxidants, and nitrates to lower cholesterol and BP. Try this: spinach salad lunch, bean chili dinner, berry snack. Studies show every 200g of plants daily drops risk 10%. Grill or steam—skip frying—to keep nutrients. Meat’s fine, just less—think 500g weekly max. Andrew Huberman ties plants to longevity—your gut and heart agree. Load your plate—your ticker’s thriving on green power!
