Walnuts

Walnuts are very high in omega-3 alpha-linoleic acid, which helps stop inflammation in the body and prevents coronary heart disease.

When to grab a handful: With a steak dinner. “They’ve been shown to reduce the injury that a high-fat meal does on your arteries,” says Dr. Robert Vogel, chief medical director at Pritikin Longevity Center Spa.
