Heart Boosters...

A delicious way to protect your ticker: Eat colorful fruits and vegetables. Of course, all fruits and veggies are good for you, but when it comes to your heart, certain ones provide added benefit.

From watermelons to pineapples, there’s a rainbow of potent nutrients proven to do the trick.

One cup of pineapple has more than 100% of your day's vitamin C needs—C aids the heart by fighting free radicals, molecules that damage cells. The lutein and zeaxanthin in corn keep arteries from thickening, the main cause of heart disease.

Watermelon and tomatoes are nature's top sources of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. One study found that people who had the most lycopene in their bloodstream were 55% less likely to have a stroke than those who had the least.
