Consuming additional fruit and vegetables, and opting for whole grains instead of refined varieties, are straightforward dietary adjustments that can lower the risk of heart disease.

Swapping saturated fats for unsaturated options, like olive oil instead of butter, also helps keep arteries healthy by preventing stiffening from plaque.
