For a heart-healthy breakfast, start your day with a bowl of coarse or steel-cut oats. This tasty grain is packed with folate, fiber, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, oatmeal can help lower your levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and help keep your arteries clear. For added benefit, top your bowl with nutritious strawberries, blueberries or bananas.
