Summary:
Tomatoes
Tomatoes don't just make for an excellent pizza topping. This red-colored food is great for your health, especially your heart. So what makes tomatoes special? The answer lies in an antioxidant called lycopene found in tomatoes. This antioxidant can help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Red Bell Peppers
Bell peppers come in various colors- green, yellow, orange, and red. Green bell peppers are unripe, wheresas red bell peppers are fully mature and mildly sweet but with an earthy taste. Eat more red bell peppers if you want your heart to stay healthy and strong.

Watermelon
Don't like tomatoes? Another way to get lycopene- the heart health-boosting antioxidant- is to start including watermelon in your diet, as it's rich in lycopene. The best part is this red fruit is refreshing summer delight. It's juicy and sweet. You can eat it on its own, add it to your bowl of fruit salad, or make delicious watermelon smoothies.

Tart Cherries
Have you ever tried tart cherry pie? Believe me; it's delicious! Besides being a delight to your taste buds, tart cherries are great for your heart too. And they're so easy to include in your daily diet. You can enjoy cherries dried or frozen. Tart cherries juice is another popular way to get all the nutrients from this superfood.

Strawberries
Strawberries and cream is my favorite dessert. Easy to make and a sweet treat! You will be surprised to know how great strawberries are for your health. Packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, magnesium, folate, potassium, and rich in antioxidants, strawberries boost your heart health.

Red Kidney Beans
Ever tried red kidney bean soup? It's delicious and is good for your health too. Kidney beans are another superfood packed with antioxidants that promote a healthy heart. Just make sure you eat them well cooked. Raw or improperly cooked kidney beans can be toxic.

Red Grapes
Red grapes are another delicious red fruit that's super good for your heart health. They are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which positively impact your heart.
