KEEPS YOUR HEART STRONG
Pumpkin
The in-season gourd is rich in plant pigments that soak into blood-vessel walls, where they speed the breakdown of tissueaging inflammation, say University of Colorado scientists. Enjoy 1/2 cup of pumpkin daily to cut your risk of plaque buildup and artery stiffening by 80%. And by keeping the arteries that nourish your heart in peak shape, you'll add 12 healthy years to your life!
