Red Hot Chili Peppers
We all agree that Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication album is awesome, but we are actually referring to the real red hot chili peppers on this list – not the band. These cute but spicy little vegetables are bursting with capsaicin which has been proven to decrease cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Although it is quite effective in keeping your heart healthy, make sure not to eat them whole and raw. The guy below tried to eat it whole, and as you can guess, it didn’t go so well for him.

Ginger
To those who love ginger, this one’s for you. This amazing spice actually has a lot more to offer than its smell and taste. Studies have shown that it can also improve your heart’s health. Apparently, having ginger regularly can decrease the risk of having conditions such as coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. As it tastes incredible in sushi, you don’t need to feel so guilty when you go to your favorite Japanese restaurant.
