Eat Fat

You want the kind called monosaturated fat. It lowers your level of bad cholesterol – the waxy, artery-plugging stuff that can bring on a heart attack. Foods loaded with monosaturated fat include peanut butter, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and anchovies, explains nutritionist Dave Grotto, author of 101 Foods That Could save Your Life.

Try to avoid anything with lots of saturated or trans fat. These have been shown to raise bad cholesterol and clog your arteries.
