Heart healthy snacks

Most of us love to snack, when watching our favourite movie. Or just in the mood for snacks.
But do we focus on the right snack? 
That may be good for the health of our heart?
Which leads me to the next question. 
What snack is considered to be of benefit for heart health?
  

Oats
Yes its not just a breakfast cereal anymore. it can be a great afternoon snack too. Oatmeal contains a compound named beta-gluten. That lowers cholesterol. A good suggestion is to soak muesli oats overnight with fresh fruit, Dried fruit, almond milk, chopped almonds and some low fat/nonfat yogurt.

Fish
Another great snack we can consider is tuna. 
A great way that we boost heart health. 
Fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. 
That in turn helps to prevent heart attacks. 

Nuts
How many of us know how healthy and good nuts can be as a snack? 
More specific walnuts. 
Why walnuts?
It contains omega three fatty acids that can slow down plague build up in the arteries.

So why not consider that a great option next time we think of a snack? 
That keeps the tummy and craving for snacks happy. 
But also is great for the heart.
