One key for the healthy heart is good nutrition. Diet for a healthy heart is important for heart health. A healthy lifestyle and diet is the best weapon to fight cardiovascular disease. That’s why many people confuse to choose the best nutrition for healthy heart and make the heart stay to pump the blood.

After ate the food which contain “fat” he felt something wrong with his heart. That’s a reason why I write this hub. I heard that life experience is the easiest way to write and make us easy to express our feeling based the life experience, right. Actually we need fat substance to balance our daily food. We can found the fat substance in meat, ice cream, candy, Mashed potatoes (if the processing process using the cream and butter), potato chips, processed meat, cashew nuts, chocolate, fast food, cereal and milk.
